Stellantis, an auto manufacturer with North American headquarters in Michigan, announced a recall of nearly 1 million vehicles this week, Reuters reported.
“Stellantis said it is unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the recall,” the outlet said.
Overall, the recall covers 955,000 vehicles, with most (848,000) in the U.S. and another 107,000 recalled in Canada, Mexico and other markets. Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager, Dodge Charger, Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, Wrangler and Ram 1500, 2500 and ProMaster vehicles with 2026 and 2027 model years are included.
Reuters’ report noted that the recall was issued due to radio software that may prevent rear-view cameras from operating properly. It said owners should expect to receive an over-the-air radio software update via a prompt on their vehicle’s media screen when the update is available.
“If the rear-view camera image does not appear, drivers should use their rear-view and side mirrors when reversing, the automaker said,” per the report. Furthermore, it noted that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandated rear-view cameras in all light-duty vehicles by 2018, citing an average of 210 deaths and 15,000 injuries per year in the U.S. caused by backover crashes, with children age 5 or younger accounting for 30% of the deaths.
Last month, WWJ reported that Stellantis posted a second consecutive quarterly profit after posting huge losses in 2025 as it aimed to focus on four core brands (Ram, Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot) and gas-powered vehicles. In the second quarter of this year, it made $335 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a more than $2 billion loss during the same period last year.
