New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – 56A

FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2022 through 2023 Model Year (WL) Jeep® Grand Cherokee and 2021 through 2023 Model Year (WL) Jeep® Grand Cherokee L and 2022 through 2024 Model Year (WS) Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles equipped with Central Vision Park Assist [sales code XAK].

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

Some of the above vehicles may be equipped with a Central Vision Park Assist Module (CVPAM) containing software that may prevent the camera signal from passing through to the media screen under certain conditions. 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 up without verifying it is safe to do so could lead to an increased risk of injury to people outside the vehicle.

The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.111 S6.2.6 requires that “The rear visibility system default to the rearview image being visible and meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 571.111 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.” Vehicles with suspect CVPAMs may not display the rearview image during a backing event under certain conditions.

 

SERVICE ACTION

FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to update the CVPAM software. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 3rd Quarter of 2023.

OWNER NOTIFICATION / SERVICE SCHEDULING

All involved vehicle owners known to FCA are being notified of the service requirement by first class mail.

They are requested to schedule appointments for this service with their dealers.  A generic copy of the owner letter is attached.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

  1. Central Vision Park Assist Module (CVPAM)

 

NOTE: The wiTECH scan tool must be used to perform this recall.  If the reprogramming flash for the PAM is aborted or interrupted, repeat the procedure. 

 

  1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts.  Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process.  Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

 

NOTE:  Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter.  The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate.  Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash.  If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

 

  1. Connect the wiTECH MDP to the vehicle data link connector.

 

  1. Place the ignition in the “RUN”

 

  1. Open the wiTECH 2.0 website.

 

  1. Enter your “User id” and “Password” and your “Dealer Code”, then select “Sign In” at the bottom of the screen. Click “Accept”.

 

  1. From the “Vehicle Selection” screen, select the vehicle to be updated.

 

  1. From the “Action Items” screen, select the “Topology” tab.

 

NOTE: The PAM must be at the latest software calibration level after completing this recall.

 

NOTE: The CVPAM (CVPAM) is identified as the Park Assist Module (PAM) in the scan tool. There will  not be a separate CVPAM component in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) view menu. When  the vehicle is equipped with the Surround View Camera (SVC) system, the CVPAM will also be  equipped to the vehicle. If the vehicle is not equipped with the SVC system, then the PAM will be used instead of the CVPAM.

 

  1. From the “Topology” tab, select the “Park Assist Module (PAM)” module icon.

 

  1. From the “Flash” tab, compare the “Current Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Part Number” with the “New ECU Part Number” listed.
  • If the “Current ECU part Number” is the same as the “New Part Number”, proceed to Step 15.
  • If the “Current ECU part Number” is NOT the same as the “New Part Number”, continue with Step 10.

 

  1. From the PAM tab, select the PAM flash part number. Read the flash special instructions page.  Select “OK” to continue.

 

  1. From the flash ECU agreement page, agree to terms by checking the box.

 

  1. Select “Flash ECU” and then follow the wiTECH screen instructions to complete the flash.

 

  1. Confirm the software is at the latest available calibration level.

 

  1. Click “View DTCs”, select “Clear All DTCs”, click “Continue” and then click “Close”.
