Summary

Chrysler "FCA US LLC" is recalling certain 2018 Dodge Journey vehicles. When reverse gear has been selected, the rear camera view may not be fully visible within two seconds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

Consequence

If the full camera view is delayed and the driver does not check their surroundings before backing up, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
