What the reviewed source says

Start with the documented condition, not a parts guess.

Mercedes-Benz recalled certain 2020 GLE 450 vehicles because rearview-camera software might not meet production specifications. When the condition occurs, the display can retain the previous screen or show a black screen and camera warning instead of the rear image. Recall status must be checked by VIN.

Safe owner checkDriving precaution · Every reversing maneuver

Use a direct view and mirrors

Until repaired, look through the rear glass and use the mirrors. Ask a spotter for help where visibility is restricted. A briefly returning image does not prove the recall is complete.

Boundary

Never test the camera by reversing toward a person or obstacle.
