The recall, totaling 1,033,433 million vehicles, affects 19 models manufactured between 2021 and 2023, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing.
Chrysler: It impacts the 2021-2023 Pacifica.
Dodge: It impacts the 2021-2022 Durango.
Ram recalls: The 2022 Ram 1500, 2022 Ram 2500, 2022 Ram 3500 and 2022-2023 Promaster.
Jeep recalls: The 2022-2023 Compass, 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee, 2022-2023 Grand Wagoneer and 2022-2023 Wagoneer.
Stellantis told Forbes in an email an over-the-air update has already been issued to more than 735,000 vehicles, and is unaware of any injuries or accidents related to the recall, but is urging customers to follow recall notice instructions.
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.
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.
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.
