Stellantis has announced a major global safety recall encompassing roughly 955,000 vehicles due to a software flaw that can prevent the rearview camera display from functioning correctly while reversing.
The campaign affects a broad lineup of 2026 and 2027 model-year vehicles across the manufacturer's Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands. The vast majority of the impacted inventory 848,000 vehicles—is located in the United States, where some 848,000 vehicles are being targeted. In Canada, 82,869 vehicles are subject to the recall, with additional units affected in Mexico and international markets.
What 2026-2027 models are affected by the Stellantis recall
- - Chrysler / Dodge - Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager (sold as the Grand Caravan in Canada), as well as the Dodge Charger.
- - Jeep - Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer and Wrangler.
- - Ram - Ram 1500, 2500 and ProMaster commercial vans.
The problem
According to the automaker, the issue stems from an error within the radio software that interferes with the transmission of the rearview camera image to the media screen. The backup display can fail to appear when the vehicle is placed in reverse. If that happens, Stellantis advises drivers to exercise heightened caution and rely strictly on their interior rearview and exterior side mirrors.
Despite the large scale of the recall, Stellantis says it is currently unaware of any accidents, collisions or injuries linked to the software glitch.
The solution
Resolving the issue will not require owners to bring their vehicles to a local dealership service bay. Stellantis plans to fix the defect via an over-the-air (OTA) radio software update. Vehicle owners will receive a prompt directly on their central dashboard screen once the digital patch becomes available to download and install.
Stellantis hasn’t provided a specific calendar date for when the over-the-air updates will begin rolling out to customer vehicles.
Rearview camera reliability remains a key safety focus for federal regulators. In 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandated backup cameras on all new light-duty passenger vehicles built after 2018; Canadian regulations followed suit.
The NHTSA cited data showing that backover crashes caused an average of 210 fatalities and 15,000 injuries annually in the U.S. prior to the mandate, with young children under the age of five representing nearly 30 percent of those deaths.
