The 2019 BMW 840i has 2 recalls, both involving the rearview camera failing to display a proper image when backing up, which raises the risk of a crash.
In one case the backup camera image may not appear at all, and in the other the image can be missing or reduced in size. Both conditions leave the driver without a reliable view behind the vehicle when reversing.
