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. 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.
