Stellantis Recalls 954K Vehicles for Backup CameraJonathan HarperA functioning backup camera is a federal safety requirement here in the United States, and Stellantis is finding out the hard way what happens when hundreds of thousands of rearview cameras run the risk of not working properly. That's because the automotive conglomerate announced a new recall on Monday, August 17, covering more than 950,000 late-model vehicles from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.The core issue is that faulty radio software may prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the infotainment screen, according to a Stellantis press release. 2026–2027 Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid and Voyager minivans, 2026–2027 Dodge Chargers, 2026 Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee / Grand Cherokee L, and Grand Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer L vehicles, plus 2026 Ram 1500 and 2500 pickups and ProMaster and ProMaster EV vans, are all included in the recall.Will Sabel Courtney848,511 units included in the callback are U.S.-market models, while an additional 82,869 vehicles in Canada and 7969 ones in Mexico have also been recalled; an additional 15,736 units from outside North America are also included in the recall, for a total of 954,885. Stellantis says that if the rearview camera feed does not appear, drivers should use extra caution, and rely on their side view and rearview mirrors when reversing.

Because the recall population is limited to 2026 and newer models, Stellantis can update every model over the airwaves. And most importantly, the automaker is unaware of any injuries or accidents related to the issue.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
