What is wrong

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019 A220 and A220 4MATIC vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

The risk

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-[removed]. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020030018.
