The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause a delay in the appearance of the rearview camera image. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display within 2 seconds of shifting the transmission into reverse gear.
Safety Risk
A rearview camera that is slow to turn on could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the rearview camera software.
