What is being recalled

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles. The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.

Why it is dangerous

A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
