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.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
The camera system in your vehicle helps you see what's behind you when you're in reverse. In some 2019 and 2020 models, the camera image can get stuck on the screen even after you shift out of reverse.
Risk if Unfixed
If the camera image stays on the screen, it could distract you while driving, making it harder to focus on the road and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the software controlling your radio display, so the camera image will clear properly when you shift out of reverse. This update is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
