The recall centers on certain vehicles from the 2026 and 2027 model years. Stellantis said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries linked to the problem. Owners of affected vehicles will receive an over-the-air software update, with a notification appearing on the vehicle’s media screen when the update is available.
Which Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Vehicles Are Affected
The U.S. recall covers several models across four Stellantis brands. According to the company, affected Chrysler vehicles include certain 2026-27 Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager minivans. Certain 2026-27 Dodge Charger vehicles are also included.
The Jeep portion of the recall involves certain 2026 Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L and Wrangler vehicles. Certain 2026 Ram 1500 and 2500 pickups are covered as well, along with ProMaster and ProMaster EV vans.
Outside the United States, another estimated 107,000 vehicles are being recalled for the same issue. Stellantis said this includes approximately 82,869 vehicles in Canada, 7,969 in Mexico and 15,736 in certain markets outside North America.
The company has instructed drivers to remain aware of their surroundings if the rearview camera image fails to appear. Drivers should use their rearview and side mirrors while reversing in that situation, Stellantis said. Recall notices containing additional information and instructions are scheduled to be mailed to affected U.S. customers beginning in September. Owners with questions can also contact customer care or use the company’s recall website to check for more information.
The Problem Involves Software Rather Than the Camera Itself
The recall is linked to radio software that can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the media display, rather than a reported physical failure of the camera hardware. The planned repair will be delivered remotely through an over-the-air software update. The automaker has reported no known crashes or injuries associated with the software issue.
Rearview cameras have been required on new light-duty vehicles in the United States since 2018. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) adopted the requirement in 2014 after citing an annual average of 210 deaths and 15,000 injuries from backover crashes involving light vehicles.
Fox Business reported that children under age five accounted for 31% of those fatalities cited by the regulator. The federal rule was intended to improve rear visibility for drivers, particularly when people or objects may be difficult to see directly behind a vehicle. For affected Stellantis owners, the remedy does not require a dealership visit based on the company’s current instructions. The software update will be delivered through the vehicle’s media system, and owners will receive a prompt when it becomes available.
