GM Recalls 271,770 Chevy Malibus in U.S. Over Rearview Camera Failure

Investors signaled the fix was routine with shares up about 4% in pre-market trading.

Overview

  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posted the recall Wednesday, covering 271,770 U.S. Chevrolet Malibu sedans from model years 2023–2025.
  • The rearview camera can show a blank or warped image that cuts rear visibility and raises crash risk.
  • GM traced the problem to a weak adhesive bond in the Sharp Electronics camera housing that can let moisture in.
  • Dealers will inspect the cars and replace the camera at no cost, with owner letters set to begin May 18.
  • Backup cameras have been required on new U.S. cars since 2018, so a camera recall targets visibility rather than core mechanical systems.
