Stellantis is recalling an estimated 848,511 vehicles in the US, spanning Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and
Ram models, after finding that a radio software glitch can prevent the rearview camera image from
appearing on the dashboard screen.

## Which vehicles are affected

The recall covers various 2026 and 2027 model-year vehicles including the Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica
Plug-in Hybrid, and Voyager; the Dodge Charger; the Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee,
Grand Wagoneer, and Wrangler; and the Ram 1500, 2500, and ProMaster, according to
[Stellantis' recall filing as reported by Kelley Blue Book](https://www.kbb.com/car-news/stellantis-recalls-almost-850000-vehicles-for-rearview-camera/).
Globally, about 955,000 vehicles are affected, including roughly 107,000 in Canada, Mexico, and other
markets.

## The fix

Stellantis says it isn't aware of any accidents or injuries linked to the glitch. Because the issue is
a software problem, the fix arrives as an over-the-air update; most owners won't need a dealer visit,
and vehicles will prompt drivers on the media screen once the update is available.

## Why it matters

A rearview camera failure is a real safety concern, not a cosmetic bug, which is why this crosses the
bar for a recall rather than a quiet patch note, even with no reported accidents yet. That the fix
ships over-the-air, without a dealer visit for most owners, is itself a sign of how much
passenger-vehicle software has changed: a defect that would have meant a service-center appointment a
decade ago now resolves the same way a phone update does. Whether the underlying software issue
recurs in future model years is the detail worth watching, not just whether this specific fix lands
cleanly.

What to watch: whether Stellantis confirms the root cause publicly, and whether the same software issue
surfaces in other model years not yet included in this recall.
