- Problem
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Ram 1500, 2500 pickup trucks, and 3500 Cab Chassis vehicles with GVWR less than 10,000 lbs.

- Risk
- A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this recall means for you
Some 2022 Ram pickups may have radio software that stops the rearview camera image from appearing on the screen. Without that image, the driver has less view behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash while backing up.
The fix is a free software update to the radio. Take your vehicle to an authorized Ram dealer, where they will reprogram the radio at no cost to you. Owners were notified by letter starting July 5, 2022. You can also call FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for help, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
