What is being recalled
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."
Why it is dangerous
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.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rearview mirror, free of charge. The recall began August 2, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U58.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-396 when calling a dealer.
