What this recall means for you
Certain 2018-2020 Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles equipped with "stealth mode" can fail to show the backup camera image when the vehicle is in reverse. When stealth mode is selected, the rearview camera display does not appear, so these vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 for rearview mirrors.
Without a working camera display, the driver has less view of what is behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash while backing up.
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) will notify owners, and authorized dealers will update the body control module software to disable stealth mode when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse. The remedy is free of charge. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number W62), and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
