Recall 20V-512: 2018–2020 Dodge Charger
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) recall for back over prevention, reported to NHTSA on Aug 27, 2020, covering about 26,361 vehicles.
The problem
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles equipped with a "stealth mode." When stealth mode is selected, the backup camera rearview image will not display when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
The risk
The lack of a back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
The fix
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update body control module software to disable stealth mode when the vehicle is shifted into "Reverse", free of charge. The recall began October 22, 2020. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W62.
