Nearly 1 million Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram vehicles were recalled globally this week due to a glitch that may prevent rearview camera images from displaying correctly.
The Stellantis recall was announced after it was discovered that radio software may prevent rear-view cameras from operating properly in 955,000 vehicles.
In the United States, the recall applies to various 848,000 2026 and 2027 model year Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager, Dodge Charger, Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, Wrangler and Ram 1500, 2500 and ProMaster vehicles.
In Canada, Mexico and other international regions, some 107,000 are under recall.
Drivers can expect to receive a prompt on their car’s media screen for an over-the-air radio software update, according to Stellantis.
Until the update is issued, owners are being urged to look through their rear-view and side mirrors when in reverse if the rear-view camera image does not present.
No accidents or injuries related to the recall have been announced so far.
Stellantis further stated that recall notices containing more instructions and information will be mailed to owners in early September.
Rear-view cameras in all light-duty vehicles have been required since 2018, according to a 2014 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandate.
On average, the United States has 210 deaths and 15,000 injuries per year caused by backover crashes, and some 30 percent of the fatalities were children aged 5 years and below.
Last year, there were 997 recalls for vehicles, car seats, tires, RVs, and other equipment. The scope of 2025 recalls spanned from sedans and SUVs to luxury models involving all the major car manufacturers, with more than 29 million vehicles nationwide being impacted.
That’s compared to the first half of 2026, in which NHTSA reported 329 individual recalls affecting about 24.8 million vehicles and equipment units.
For example, in February, the Ford Motor Company announced a recall that affected more than 8 million trucks and SUVs due to trailer lighting and brake module issues, and in May, Ford recalled 179,698 Broncos and Rangers due to loose bolts in the front seats that could potentially lead to them detaching from the seat frame in the event of a crash.
The recall is applicable to 117,443 Ford Bronco and 62,255 Ford Ranger models ranging in years from 2024 to 2026, according to the NHTSA.
If seat frame height adjustment pivot bolts loosen and eventually fall out, the NHTSA said, occupants are at increased risk of injury during a crash since the seats could dislodge from the seat frames.
