Stellantis recall nearly 1 million cars

19 Aug Stellantis recall nearly 1 million cars

(Oilandgaspress) 19/08/26 – Stellantis is reportedly recalling almost 955,000 vehicles worldwide after a software fault left rearview cameras unable to display on some models.

The latest recall stems from radio software, not the cameras themselves. Stellantis found that a fault in the infotainment system could stop the rearview camera image from appearing on the media screen when a vehicle is shifted into reverse.

Of the total, 848,511 vehicles are affected in the US, spanning the 2026 and 2027 model years.

The recall covers the Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and Voyager, the Dodge Charger, several Jeep models including the Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, and Ram’s 1500, 2500 and ProMaster ranges.

A further 82,869 vehicles are affected in Canada, about 7,969 in Mexico, and 15,736 across other markets — though it remains unclear whether any of those fall within Europe.

The recall is the latest setback for one of the world’s biggest carmakers, which is only just emerging from a bruising 2025 marked by heavy losses, a leadership shake-up and thin profit margins. The company is headquartered in the Netherlands, though chief executive Antonio Filosa runs day-to-day operations from Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Stellantis controls 14 brands spanning Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram and Vauxhall, among others. It employs around 250,000 people across more than 30 countries and sold 5.4 million vehicles in 2024, generating revenues of roughly €156.9 billion. It remains one of Europe’s largest carmakers by market share and one of its biggest industrial employers.
