Stellantis Recalls Nearly 850,000 U.S. Vehicles Over Backup Camera Glitch
Stellantis announced a recall of nearly 850,000 U.S. vehicles on Monday, August 17, 2026, saying a rearview camera software glitch can leave drivers without a backup image.[1]
The recall covers 2026-27 Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid and Voyager, and 2026-27 Dodge Charger.[1] It also includes multiple 2026 Jeep models and 2026 Ram 1500, 2500, ProMaster and ProMaster EVs.[1] Stellantis said it will push an over-the-air radio software update to fix the problem and reported no known crashes or injuries linked to the defect.[1] An additional roughly 107,000 vehicles in Canada, Mexico and other markets outside the U.S. are included in the recall.[1]
Stellantis described the issue as a software defect that can interrupt the rearview camera image rather than a hardware failure.[1] The company said the fix will be delivered remotely through the radio software update.[1]
The recall affects many of Stellantis' newest model-year vehicles as the automaker deploys a software patch to restore rearview camera function.[1]
