IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Rear View Camera
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA US has decided that certain [2018 and 2019 Chrysler Pacifica] vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111 – Rear Visibility, S6.2.4 Linger time which requires that “The rearview image meeting the requirements of S6.2.1 and S6.2.2 shall not be displayed after the backing event has ended.” S4. Definitions, “Backing event” is defined as “an amount of time which starts when the vehicle’s direction selector is placed in reverse, and ends […] when the vehicle forward motion reaches: […] (c) a continuous duration of 10 seconds.” In certain situations, the rearview image in suspect vehicles will linger until a drive cycle ends, which can be longer than 10 seconds.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
Under certain circumstances, the radio display rearview image on your vehicle [1] may linger until a drive cycle ends. If the rearview image is displayed after the backing event has ended, a driver may be distracted by the image which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will flash the radio with updated software. The estimated repair time is about one hour. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
