Another roughly 107,000 automobiles outside the US are also affected by the issue.\n\nThe campaign adds to a series of problems that have made backup cameras one of the the most error-prone features in modern automobiles. A Bloomberg News analysis this month found that faulty camera systems have resulted in recalls spanning roughly 21 million cars since the US mandated the safety systems eight years ago.\n\nMalfunctions can stem from a variety of underlying faults, including software issues and manufacturing missteps.\n\nStellantis' latest recall is tied to radio software that could prevent the review camera's image from appearing on a vehicle's media screen. The company will provide customers with an over-the-air software update to fix the issue.\n\nThe carmaker said it isn't aware of any related accidents or injuries.\n\n--With assistance from Max Rivera.\n\nMost Read from Bloomberg Businessweek\n\n-\n[The Steamy, Magical and Now Very Lucrative Romantasy Business](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-08-12/romantasy-book-series-help-revive-interest-in-reading-push-into-tv-and-film?utm_campaign=bw&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS) -\n[The Midwest City Keeping the American Dream Alive for First-Time Homebuyers](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-13/michigan-housing-market-offers-new-opportunities-for-first-time-buyers?utm_campaign=bw&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS)\n\n©2026 Bloomberg L.P.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stellantis-recalls-nearly-1-million-cars-over-backup-cameras", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/stellantis-recalls-nearly-1-million-192152218.html", "published_at": "2026-08-17 19:21:52+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-17 20:42:08.393112+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Stellantis NV", "Jeep", "Chrysler", "Dodge", "Ram", "Bloomberg News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stellantis-recalls-nearly-1-million-cars-over-backup-cameras", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stellantis-recalls-nearly-1-million-cars-over-backup-cameras.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stellantis-recalls-nearly-1-million-cars-over-backup-cameras.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stellantis-recalls-nearly-1-million-cars-over-backup-cameras.jsonld"}}
