Stellantis Recalls 900,000 Vehicles over Camera Bug
Stellantis is recalling more than 900,000 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles over radio software that can prevent the backup camera from displaying properly.
The automaker said Monday, Aug. 17, it would file the recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Stellantis said there have been no known injuries related to the software malfunction.
In a statement to the Detroit Free Press, spokesperson Frank Matyok said drivers of affected vehicles should use side- and rearview mirrors when reversing until an over-the-air update is available to download.
In total, 848,511 vehicles are recalled in the United States, with about 100,000 more under recall outside the country.
