Your vehicle's rearview camera software may not be working properly, which can cause the camera to show a blank image or display an image after you've stopped backing up.
Risk if Unfixed
This can increase the risk of a crash because you may not be able to see what's behind your vehicle, or you might be distracted by a still-displaying image.
Free Fix
You'll need to take your vehicle to a dealership, where they'll update the software for free, so you can have a safe and working rearview camera system.
