Like in the U.S., there are myriad media reports about vehicle recalls in Canada over faulty backup cameras. Here are a range of recalls reported in just the last few years.<\/p>\n
In late July, more than 17,000 Volkswagen vehicles were recalled, requiring the owners to take them back to a dealership. Transport Canada officials said that \u201c(u)nder certain conditions, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse.\u201d As a result, it \u201ccould reduce a driver\u2019s ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.\u201d<\/p>\n

In late May, Honda recalled nearly 1,000 vehicles due to an issue that could affect the rearview cameras.<\/p>\n
