GM Recalls More than 270,000 Chevrolet Malibu Sedans

News,

General Motors (GM) is recalling more than 270,000 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the U.S. because the rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a letter that a rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

A safety recall report from the agency said that GM's supplier identified an issue with the bonding process used to assemble the camera housing that could weaken the adhesive bond on some assemblies. The automaker's investigation found that the mounting configuration of the Sharp Electronics camera on the Chevrolet Malibu could expose it to moisture that may breach an insufficient housing bond.
