The backup camera and parking collision warning periodically do not work and this resulted in a collision with a parked car.

I bought the car in 2017 with 7800 miles within the first few months. The rear camera began to freeze sometimes I once went to the dealer but they said they can’t find it because at that point in time it wasn’t freezing so they couldn’t do anything about it now at least 95% of the time the rear camera does not work either is upside down or it doesn’t work at all I see there has been a recall for my year similar vehicles for this problem of the rearview camera. For some reason my car was not included and I would like to log the complaint and hopefully get my car included. thank you so much.
