Hyundai said the image failure was caused by weak solder joints on the printed circuit board.
“The solder joints that secure the integrated signal processor to the PCB may develop cracks during the manufacturing process, and the cracks may propagate further due to the high operating temperatures of the camera.” — Modern Backup Recall Files
Backup cameras that don’t work violate federal safety standards.
Hyundai expects to mail a backup camera recall letter on January 19, 2025, and dealers will replace the rearview camera.
Owners with questions about the Hyundai backup camera recall should call 855-371-9460 and ask for recall number 271.
