BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The wiring harness for the rearview camera and the center brake light may short circuit, which can disable the rearview camera image and center brake light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 111, "Rear Visibility" and 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- A rearview camera image that does not display decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a center brake light that fails to illuminate can fail to indicate to other drivers that the vehicle is slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers replaced the harness for the center brake light and rearview camera and/or the spare tire carrier/harness assembly, as necessary, free of charge. All vehicles were repaired by January 15, 2024. Owner notification letters were mailed September 26, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 77B.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 46 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 6 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V436000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5,457 complaints with NHTSA, 3,319 of them before this campaign was filed. 16 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 30 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V363000 (steering), 26V327000 (back over prevention), 25V741000 (electrical system), 25V527000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on September 12, 2024 as campaign 24V676000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
