What's wrong?
The rear vision camera on the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq is part of the back over prevention system. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the camera sends a live view behind the SUV to the center display so the driver can see the area directly behind the vehicle.
On affected Lyriq SUVs, a radio software update used in service carried the wrong calibration. That calibration disabled the rear vision camera on vehicles that were not equipped with hitch guidance or hitch view features. Instead of showing the camera image, the display can lose the video feed.
The warning sign is visible on the screen. The driver can see the rear camera display turn gray with no rear camera image when the system should be showing the view behind the vehicle.

What's the safety risk?
An inoperative rearview camera reduces rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash while backing up. If the camera screen turns grey or shows no rear image, use mirrors, look over your shoulder, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Cadillac Lyriq is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cadillac dealer to schedule the free VCU software update that fixes the rearview camera screen turning gray.
- Complete the OTA update if Cadillac sends it to the vehicle, or have the dealer install the software update.
- Bring the recall notice if Cadillac mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V082 when you call.
- Use extra care when backing up until the update is complete; check mirrors and look behind the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician updates the vehicle cockpit unit software so the rearview camera display shows the camera image instead of a gray screen. The software update is free under the recall, whether it is completed at the dealer or through an OTA update. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through warranty coverage, not a separate reimbursement program, because all covered vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how the warranty applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
