BMW is recalling most 2018-2020 models in the U.S.

And there is a high chance that it is also executed in Canada. Very similar to the Nissan/Infiniti recall from a couple of weeks ago, BMW is notifying more than 200,000+ customers in the U.S. to fix a camera software issue that hides the backup image when the vehicle gear is switched to Reverse.
