My car is subject to the recall. Replacement of camera software and hardware.

I wonder if this partially explains why some of us think our backup camera is so bad.

I checked on the NHTSA website and it does show the recall on my 2025 4S. When I try to schedule the recall on the dealer's service website, after putting in my VIN, it shows no recalls. I guess I'll call next week.

Quite possible. It will be interesting to hear from anyone who has the recall done whether there is a discernible difference.

The recall notice https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCAK-25V220-7737.pdf describes it as affecting:

Components:
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

That seems rather pretentious language for a 'fuzzy rear camera image'.

I have noticed that my vehicle sometimes slams on the brakes when I'm reversing into a parking space, or out of the garage. Maybe this is to do with the rear cross-traffic warning system too? (I live in hope!)

There have been many posts about this on Rennlist - the posts there also say cars are being held in the ports until the update and replacement cameras are available - today someone posted that all is now available -

My schedule doesn't allow me to be one of the first to see the results of the recall, but I look forward to the updates.

My 2024 is also subject to this software update. . Just got VR11.28/WSD0 done successfully, Thankfully already at the dealer for the previous mega software (successfully completed last week) and my intermittent rear driver’s quadrant lights out problem, so they can get this camera software one done now too.

Thanks for this. I called and the service department confirmed I am included and scheduled an appointment for me next week. I did not get a letter or other notification but they said I was just ahead of that communication.

Haven't call myself but in Canada it looks like every model except 4S is included. Wonder if that was just an error or not.

I go in on may 7th and I’ll report back if there’s something remarkable or interesting about what they do

Ok here is the update
1. Camara inspected for bonding issue. No issues found
2. rare cases when camera cannot be activated when park assist in turned on due to software error. This issue is accompanied by yellow or red warning "vehicle electrical system" error.
2a. customer satisfaction fix: Optimized the High voltage heater (has a back up heat in the heater area) that can sometimes cause an odour
2b. Optimized battery capacity calculations to improve range, charging power and SoC display.
2c. Optimized diagnosis to detect adhesive HV protectors' which can lead the HV System to shutting down or a charging process being disrupted.
3. rare cases when the vehicle cannot be started or unlocked by the key fob.

In my case I have never had any of the above issues but looks like I might not in the future .

In case your interested : These fixes involved the Main control unit gateway, the main control unit for body electronics and the high voltage battery control unit.

Sure, all of this took about five hours in the shop so basically drop off at 10 AM. Pick up at three.

Interesting! I tried to book an appointment for the recall online and received a message that yes, the car was being recalled but they don't have parts available. Thankfully I haven't had any of the issues being checked so I'll just hold for now and see how things go into the summer.
