IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Radio Software Update
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 [2021 Model Year (WL) Jeep Grand Cherokee L] vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111 – Rearview Mirrors, which requires that the rear visibility system default to the rearview image being visible, and meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 111 S6.2.1 (field of view) and S6.2.2 (image size) at the beginning of each backing event, regardless of any modifications to the field of view that the driver had previously selected. Suspect vehicles may not display the rear view image during a backing event.
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?
The radio software on your vehicle [1] may malfunction during shutdown and fail to produce a display on the radio screen during subsequent key cycles. There is no warning that the rearview camera image will not display; however, the vehicle operator will notice that the rearview image is not displayed if attempting to reference the image while backing. If this warning is not heeded, backing without verifying it is safe to do so could lead to an increased risk of injury to people outside the vehicle.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this you have two options. First, you can take your vehicle to your dealer and your dealer will inspect and if necessary, update the radio software version. Second, your vehicle’s radio software can be reprogramed remotely using Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) technology which will become available starting sometime in October.
For more information: Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNad3kwXeBA for details on how to update your radio. By selecting the remote FOTA technology option to update your radio software, a visit to your dealership will not be necessary. When prompted, simply select “Update Now” on your radio display to update the software at your convenience.
If you would like to have your dealer perform the repair, the estimated repair time is about 30 minutes. 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.
