AUBURN HILLS – Stellantis recalled more than 1 million vehicles in the U.S. for a software issue that may prevent rear-view cameras from displaying, according to a Tuesday regulatory filing that impacts Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep models.
The issue is caused by radio software that potentially prevents a signal to allow the rear-view camera to display, the NHTSA said. The company began investigating the issue last October, reviewing warranty data, field records and customer assistance records through February, according to the regulatory filing.
BIG NUMBER
2,251,746. That’s how many cars Chrysler has recalled in 2024 thus far, NHTSA data shows. The figure is spread across 30 recalls.
KEY BACKGROUND
Tuesday’s recall is the second large-scale recall from the automaker in June, though it has issued eight total recalls this month, according to NHTSA data. The first widespread recall was issued on June 6, when it recalled more than 211,000 cars for disabled electronic stability control systems. The automaker has issued several other large-scale recalls this year, including a mid-February recall for nearly 200,000 cars in mid-February and more than 338,000 vehicles for loss of control issues a week later. It also recalled more than 350,000 cars in March.
