The takeaway

Stellantis is recalling nearly 850,000 vehicles in the U.S. — including the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 — after a software glitch was found to disrupt the rearview camera display. The company says it knows of no accidents or injuries linked to the issue. An over-the-air update will fix affected vehicles; until then, drivers should rely on mirrors when reversing.

Stellantis is recalling nearly 850,000 vehicles in the United States — with another 107,000 affected in Canada, Mexico and other markets — after discovering a software glitch that can disrupt the rearview camera display. The recall spans a wide swath of the automaker's 2026-27 lineup, from the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee to the Ram 1500 pickup.

Which vehicles are affected

  • 2026-27 Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager
  • 2026-27 Dodge Charger
  • 2026 Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L and Wrangler
  • 2026 Ram 1500 and 2500 pickups, ProMaster and ProMaster EV vans

What Stellantis says

Stellantis says it is "unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the software glitch." The company will roll out an over-the-air software update to fix the issue; owners don't need to schedule a dealer visit for the update itself. Until the fix is applied, Stellantis advises that drivers "should remain aware of their surroundings and use their rearview and side mirrors when reversing."

Why it matters

Backup cameras have been mandatory on new U.S. vehicles since 2018, specifically to reduce backover accidents involving pedestrians and children. A camera display that intermittently fails removes a safety feature many drivers now rely on by habit, which is why regulators treat display glitches as recall-worthy even without confirmed injuries.
