Expert Reply:

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # SH22G will likely block or partially obstruct the view on most factory backup cameras. That said, we can't exactly test this for every vehicle either. If you are looking for a bike rack that won't block the backup camera while in the stowed position then the best option would be the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR which has a much more open design therefore has a greater chance of not obstructing the view.
