Stellantis ha richiamato 955.000 veicoli, soprattutto in America, per un problema al software della radio che potrebbe impedire il corretto display. Led by Antonio Filosa, the automotive group confirmed that the vast majority of the affected vehicles are located in North America, triggering a major safety filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (Nhtsa).
The Scale of the North American Recall and Affected Models
The safety action follows a July recall of about 1.2 million Ram 1500 pick-up trucks over seat belt latch issues, according to reporting by Milano Finanza. Out of the 955,000 total vehicles swept up in the latest campaign, 848,511 are registered in the United States. An additional numerous units sit outside U.S. borders, with 82,869 in Canada, 7,969 in Mexico, and 15,736 in other markets.
The sweep covers a broad swath of the automaker’s 2026 and 2027 model-year lineups. Affected nameplates include the Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, and Voyager, alongside the Dodge Charger. Jeep vehicles in the crosshairs range from the Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L, to the Wrangler. Heavy hitters from Ram, including the Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and commercial workhorses like the Ram ProMaster and ProMaster EV, complete the extensive list.
Decoding the Infotainment Software Failure
The root of the issue lies within the radio and infotainment system software. Under specific operational circumstances, the software logic can prevent the central touchscreen from displaying the backup camera feed during reverse gear maneuvers. While federal safety standards in the U.S. mandate unobstructed rearview visibility, Milano Finanza reported that Stellantis has confirmed zero accidents or injuries tied directly to the glitch.
This software malfunction differs significantly from older hardware-level camera faults, such as the microprocessoring cracking issues that plagued 141,906 Ram ProMaster vans from 2019 to 2021 and 77,671 Dodge Journey models from 2019 to 2020, which were investigated under NHTSA inquiry PE24-006 and documented by Motori.it. Where those older campaigns required physical component replacements, this latest 2026-2027 vehicle population relies entirely on modern digital infrastructure for a streamlined fix.
Over-the-Air Resolution and Next Steps for Drivers
To mitigate the logistical nightmare of scheduling nearly a million service appointments across thousands of dealerships, Stellantis plans to deploy a remote remedy. As detailed by Milano Finanza, the fix will be delivered via an over-the-air (OTA) software update pushed directly to the vehicles. Drivers will receive a prompt on their dashboard media screen once the patch is ready for installation.
For owners who encounter hurdles with the digital patch, the automaker’s dealer network will handle the software refresh free of charge. In the interim, corporate representatives in North America have urged motorists to exercise heightened caution during reversing maneuvers, leaning on traditional side and rearview mirrors until the digital feed is fully restored.
