Stellantis recalls 1M vehicles due to rearview camera issue

How car recalls get reported

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officially start car recalls after receiving complaints from consumers.

Stellantis is recalling more than 1 million vehicles across several brands due to the risk that the image from the rearview camera on vehicles may not appear.

The recall covers certain 2021-2023 Chrysler Pacificas, 2021-2022 Dodge Durangos, 2022-2023 Jeep Compasses, 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneers and 2022-2023 Jeep Wagoneers. Model year 2022 Ram 1500s, 2500s and 3500s as well as model year 2022-2023 Ram Promasters were also part of the recall.

"A rearview camera image that does not display decreases the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of the crash," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website.
