Component
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The rearview camera system on your Wrangler is connected to the center brake light by a wiring harness. In some 2018-2024 models, this harness can short circuit and break the connection, causing the rearview camera and center brake light to malfunction.
Risk if Unfixed
If your rearview camera image doesn't appear, you'll have reduced visibility behind your vehicle, which could lead to a crash. Additionally, if your center brake light doesn't turn on, other drivers may not see that your vehicle is slowing down, which could also lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will replace the faulty wiring harness for the rearview camera and center brake light, and/or the spare tire carrier/harness assembly if needed, at no cost to you. This repair was already completed by January 15, 2024, but if you haven't had it done, schedule it as soon as possible.
