Rearview camera image missing in reverse
A black center display or missing rear image in reverse is the failure addressed by recall 22V-232 on certain 2020 GLE 450 vehicles.
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.

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

Read guide ↗When a car is unsafe
A warning light does not always mean the same thing, but weak brakes or smoke leave little room for experimentation. Damaged tires and certain recall instructions can do the same.
Read guide ↗Why symptoms overlap
“It makes a weird noise” is useful human language. Diagnosis begins when that language is tied to the exact vehicle and its operating conditions.
