Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) has recalled approximately 79,365 units of its 2024 Jeep® Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee L vehicles.
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with an incorrectly programmed Rearview Camera Module (RVCM). The vehicle operator will notice that the rearview image is not displayed if attempting to reference the image while backing. If this warning is not heeded, backing without verifying it is safe could increase the risk of injury to people outside the vehicle.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111, “Rear Visibility.”
Regarding the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer (WS) models, the suspect period began on May 23, 2023, when the first suspect vehicle was produced, and ended on August 14, 2024, when the last suspect vehicle was produced. The suspect population was determined using vehicle production records.
Similar vehicles not included in this recall were built after the suspect build period or do not have an RVCM.
The total number of affected vehicles for the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer is 20,550.
For the two-row Grand Cherokee (WL74) models, the suspect period began on July 12, 2023, when the first suspect vehicle was produced, and ended on September 9, 2024, when the last suspect vehicle was produced. The suspect population was determined using vehicle production records.
