BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2024-2025 Buick Envista, 2024-2026 Buick Encore GX, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and 2025 Chevrolet Trax vehicles. The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.
- What it can cause
- A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning September 16, 2026. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300. GM's number for this recall is A262554900. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on August 20, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 306,511 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 3 times before this, most recently in April 2026 as 26V212000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 261 complaints with NHTSA, 241 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2023, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V744000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
