What this recall means for you
A software error in the radio can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the display. Without the camera picture, the driver has less view behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash, particularly while backing up. The affected vehicles fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 for rear visibility.
The remedy is a free radio software update that dealers will perform. Owner notification letters were mailed October 6, 2022. If you have questions, contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number Z86.
