Fiat Chrysler Recall 2020: Do You Own One Of The 318,000 Vehicles Affected?

Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) has recalled over 318,000 vehicles for a camera issue that could increase the risk of a crash.

The recall affects certain 2020 Jeep Gladiator and Jeep Cherokee, 2019 to 2020 Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Renegade and 2019 Dodge Challenger models – all equipped with an 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio display.

The camera issue is the result of a software error that can cause the rearview camera image to linger on the display after the vehicle has been shifted out of reverse, distracting the driver. The camera problem is a violation of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard regarding rearview mirrors.

To remedy the camera error, Fiat Chrysler dealers will update the radio display software at no cost to the vehicle owner. The automaker said it will begin notifying affected owners on May 22.

Questions about the recall can be directed to Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
