What the reviewed source says

Start with the documented condition, not a parts guess.

NHTSA lists the 2021 Hyundai Elantra in safety campaign 24V879000. The official record says: Due to a damaged printed circuit board, the rearview camera image may fail to display. The stated safety consequence is: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's visibility and increases the risk of a crash. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.
