Stellantis is initiating a recall of approximately 850,000 vehicles in the United States because of a software problem that can interfere with the rearview camera display. The issue affects a range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models from the 2026 and 2027 model years.

The automotive giant reported on Monday that it has no knowledge of any accidents or injuries resulting from this software malfunction. In addition to the U.S. recall, Stellantis is also recalling about 107,000 vehicles in Canada, Mexico, and other international markets for the same rearview camera issue.

Specific U.S. models included in the recall are the 2026-27 Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, and Voyager minivans; the 2026-27 Dodge Charger; various 2026 Jeep models including the Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L, and Wrangler; and the 2026 Ram 1500 and 2500 pickup trucks, along with the ProMaster and ProMaster EV vans.

Owners of the affected vehicles in the U.S. will receive a radio software update delivered wirelessly, known as an over-the-air update. Stellantis advised that if the rearview display is not functioning, drivers should exercise caution, remain aware of their surroundings, and rely on their rearview and side mirrors when reversing.
