2019 Dodge Journey recalls

Recall 25V-552: Back Over Prevention

Reported Aug 26, 2025 · 219,577 vehicles affected · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Problem: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Ram ProMaster and 2019-2020 Dodge Journey vehicles. Cracks in the microprocessor may cause the vehicle's rearview camera image not to display properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility.

Risk: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed beginning September 30, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated July 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 59C.

Electrical System · reported Aug 16, 2026
My rear view camera shows a black screen when the vehicle is put in reverse. It is not a fuse problem. That has been checked. I have resorted to “the old fashioned way” of looking behind either side when backing up. It’s just terrifying because you can’t see all that the rear view camera shows and since it’s not working I don’t get the noise alerts when getting close to something

Every day when I backup my 2019 Dodge Journey I can not use my rear view mirror to safely backup ? Why ? Because the rear view camera which is still is in recall status is located within the rear view mirror and blocks out my ability to use the mirror. How much longer will I have to wait for Chrysler to rectify this safety hazard ? Don't tell me soon. I have had this issue for 2 years now. I received the recall notice a year ago.
Unknown or Other · reported Aug 14, 2026
I went to the dealership for the recall, and they said that they changed the camera. But that did not fix it. They told me it was a wiring issue or something in the radio. They did not fix the recall. They wanted me to pay for a diagnostic.
