Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) US, the American division of Stellantis, is recalling more than 955,000 vehicles globally after finding that a radio software fault could stop rear-view cameras from working as intended.
Of this total, 848,511 vehicles are affected in the US, spanning multiple model lines from the 2026 and 2027 model years.

The recall covers the Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager minivans; Dodge Charger models; the Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L and Wrangler range; and Ram 1500 and 2500 pickups, along with the ProMaster and ProMaster EV vans.
The fault means the rearview camera feed may not display on the media screen.
FCA US plans to fix the issue through an over-the-air software update, with owners notified via a prompt on their vehicle’s screen once it becomes available.
In the meantime, the company has advised drivers to rely on rearview and side mirrors and stay alert to their surroundings if the camera image does not appear when reversing.
FCA US, which does business as Stellantis North America, said no accidents or injuries have been linked to the fault so far.
Recall notices will be sent to owners by post from September, in keeping with standard regulatory practice, with further guidance to follow.
Outside the US, a further 106,574 vehicles are being recalled, made up of roughly 82,869 in Canada, 7,969 in Mexico and 15,736 across other markets.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has mandated rear-view backup cameras on all new passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs and vans under 4,500 kg since May 2018.
The requirement, introduced under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard following a 2010 proposal and a 2014 final rule, was designed to eliminate blind zones and reduce back-over crashes.
This latest action follows an earlier recall in June, when FCA US called back around 1.07 million vehicles in the US over a fire risk linked to a fault in the power steering system.
