LONG ISLAND, NY — An estimated 848,511 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles have been recalled in the U.S. because a software issue may prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when the driver is reversing.
FCA US LLC, the Stellantis subsidiary responsible for the affected brands, issued a voluntary recall to address the radio software in the vehicles.
An "over-the-air radio software update" will be provided for the affected vehicles, and customers will receive a prompt on their vehicle's media screen when the update is available, according to Mopar, Stellantis' parts, service, and customer-care division.
If the image still does not appear, FCA US LLC encourages drivers to "remain aware of their surroundings and use their rearview and side mirrors when reversing."

FCA US LLC said it is unaware of any related accidents or injuries. Recall notices will be mailed to affected customers beginning in September, the company said.
An additional estimated 82,869 vehicles are affected in Canada, 7,969 in Mexico and 15,736 in certain markets outside North America, according to the recall information.
