Recall 26V-327: Back Over Prevention

Reported May 21, 2026 · 16 vehicles affected · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Problem: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019 and 2023 Chrysler Pacifica, 2024 Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and 2024-2025 Jeep Wrangler vehicles.

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