Chrysler parent Stellantis announced on Monday that nearly one million vehicles worldwide are being recalled over radio software that may prevent rearview cameras from displaying images properly.
About 955,000 Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles are affected by the recall.
This covers more than 848,000 vehicles in the U.S., including various 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.
About 107,000 vehicles are being recalled in Canada, Mexico and other countries.
This includes nearly 83,000 vehicles in Canada, 8,000 in Mexico and 16,000 in markets outside North America.
If the rearview camera display fails to appear, drivers are instructed to use their rearview and side mirrors when reversing their vehicles, Stellantis said.
The automaker said it is unaware of any accidents or injuries in connection with the recall.
Vehicle owners will receive an over-the-air radio software update and will be prompted on the vehicle’s media screen when the update is available.
Recall notices will be mailed to owners beginning next month with additional information and instructions.
In 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration adopted a rule requiring rear-visibility technology in new vehicles weighing under 10,000 pounds by May 2018, saying the U.S. had 210 deaths and 15,000 injuries per year on average caused by back-over crashes involving light vehicles.
The regulator said children under age 5 accounted for 31% of those fatalities.
