Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. "MBUSA" is recalling certain 2019 A220 and A220 4MATIC vehicles. In certain operating conditions, the rearview camera software may cause a delay in displaying the rearview camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
A delayed rearview camera display can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the car, increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. The recall began April 8, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020030018.
