2019-2020 Cadillac XT4 Recall 22V868: Camera Image Loss

Recall 22V868 affects 10,199 2019-2020 Cadillac XT4 vehicles with rearview camera display failure. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.

Cadillac is recalling 10,199 2019-2020 XT4 vehicles with the optional Surround Vision feature under recall 22V868 because the video processing module can lose communication with the rearview camera. When the image does not display, rear visibility is reduced and crash risk increases; Cadillac dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?

The video processing module in 2019-2020 Cadillac XT4 vehicles equipped with optional Surround Vision is the small computer that handles camera video. It receives the rearview camera feed and sends the image to the display so the driver can see behind the SUV while backing up. The rearview camera still depends on that module staying connected to the camera.

On affected XT4 SUVs, the module software can lose communication with the rearview camera. When that connection drops, the display no longer shows the camera view, even though the driver has shifted into reverse. GM traced the condition to software behavior in vehicles built before later VPM software improvements.

Owners can notice the camera cutting in and out before the image disappears. The display can also switch to a black or blue screen instead of the rearview image.

Who's affected?

Spans two XT4 model years, with the same video processing module and camera system listed for both.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.

What's the safety risk?

A blank or blue rearview camera screen reduces rear visibility while backing up and increases the risk of a crash. If the camera image cuts out or works intermittently, use mirrors, look behind you, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 Cadillac XT4 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Cadillac dealer to schedule the free VPM software update or VPM replacement that fixes the rearview camera image loss.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Cadillac mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V868 when you call.
  4. Use extra care when backing up until the repair is complete; rear visibility is reduced when the camera image does not display.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Cadillac technician updates the video processing module software. If the module itself needs replacement, the technician replaces it. The recall covers parts and labor. GM has a general reimbursement plan on file, so documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this VPM or rearview camera issue are handled through that plan. If you already paid for a related repair, ask the Cadillac service desk what documentation GM requires for the claim.
