Chevrolet Malibu recall overview: 

• Who: GM issued a recall for more than 270,000 model year 2023–2025 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles. 
• Why: The recall was initiated over concerns the recalled Chevrolet Malibu vehicles’ rearview camera screens could display a distorted or blank image.

GM is recalling more than 270,000 model year 2023–2025 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles over concerns the vehicles’ rearview camera screens could display a distorted or blank image.  

The automaker, in a recall submitted on April 2, said the issue with the recalled Chevrolet Malibus’ rearview camera screens creates a safety risk that could include crash, fire, death and injury. 

“If the rearview camera is not functioning properly, rear visibility is reduced, increasing the risk of a crash during a backing event,” the recall says. 

An investigation determined the recall issue was caused by the rearview camera being exposed to moisture, as a result of issues with mounting configuration and the camera housing bond, the recall says. 

GM has received more than 19K ‘potentially related’ complaints, recall says

GM said an analysis of field data completed in February found 19,117 “potentially related” complaints of rearview camera display issues, with the reports received between Nov. 22, 2022, and Jan. 29, 2026. 

The automaker, however, said it is not aware of any crashes or injuries “associated with this condition on the Chevrolet Malibu.” 

GM said it plans to remedy the recall issue by having dealers replace the rearview camera on the affected Chevrolet Malibu vehicles. 

Dealers were notified about the Chevrolet Malibu recall on April 2, while owner notification “of an available remedy” is estimated to start being mailed out on May 18, according to the recall. 

Three consumers filed a class action lawsuit against GM earlier this year over claims the automaker sold vehicles with a defective brake vacuum pump system.
