According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the reason for recalling the backup camera is that you can adjust its brightness and contrast to make the rear-view image invisible. These settings are retained even after the vehicle is turned off. This is in violation of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

It is a simple software upgrade that will fix the problem. This change affects your ability to adjust brightness and contrast.

NHTSA’s Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance was first alerted to this problem in a 2019 BMW X4. They contacted BMW on May 15, 2019, After multiple discussions, NHTSA determined that the camera software was not in compliance with federal regulations.

This is the 2nd recall for the Supra. Although the first recall was caused by an incorrect weld on the seatbelt guide loop mounting, it only affected seven vehicles.

Another strange recall was also issued to the Cullinan earlier in the year. According to federal regulations, NHTSA found that the SUV’s brake lamps were too dim.
