What's wrong, in plain English

A software error can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the screen when backing up in some Mercedes-Benz AMG models. Without the camera picture, the driver has less view of what's behind the vehicle while reversing.

What you should do

Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz dealer, or call 1-800-367-6372, to schedule the software update.
The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V232000.
