AMSTERDAM (dpa-AFX) - Stellantis is recalling nearly 1.2 million vehicles in
the U.S. and Canada to fix a software glitch that can disable the rearview
cameras.

According to a statement from NHTSA, a rearview camera image that does not
display decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler is recalling certain 2021-2022 Dodge Durango, 2021-2023 Chrysler
Pacifica, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 2022-2023 Jeep
Compass, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram Promaster vehicles.

A company investigation found that the radio software may prevent the rearview
image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, 'Rear
Visibility.'

Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, will fix the problem with an online software
update that more than 735,000 vehicles have already received. Owners should see
a request to accept the update on their media screens. They also will get recall
notices in the mail.

The company says it has no reports of injuries or crashes, but it still is
urging owners to follow the recall instructions.
