Stellantis recalls 1 million vehicles over rearview camera software issue
Key Points:
- Stellantis is recalling nearly one million Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles worldwide due to radio software issues that may prevent rearview cameras from displaying images properly.
- The recall affects over 848,000 vehicles in the U.S., including various 2026 and 2027 models such as Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Charger, Jeep Cherokee, and Ram trucks, with an additional 107,000 vehicles recalled in Canada, Mexico, and other countries.
- Drivers are advised to use rearview and side mirrors if the rearview camera display fails, and Stellantis will provide an over-the-air software update prompted on the vehicle’s media screen.
- The automaker has not reported any accidents or injuries linked to this issue, and recall notices will be mailed to owners starting next month with further instructions.
- Rearview camera technology became mandatory in new vehicles under 10,000 pounds by May 2018 to reduce back-over crashes, which previously caused an average of 210 deaths and 15,000 injuries annually in the U.S.
