According to media reports, it is common for automakers to issue recalls for vehicles already sold. However, Stellantis issued five separate recalls in a single day, a rare occurrence.
The recalls involve more than 80,000 vehicles, covering multiple models, including the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The largest recall affects the Jeep brand, involving 79,365 vehicles, including the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee L. These vehicles have programming errors in their rearview camera modules, which may prevent images from displaying when reversing. The issue requires a relatively simple fix, with dealers installing new software to resolve the problem.
Additionally, Mopar, Chrysler's dedicated accessories and performance parts division, will recall 295 vehicles for a similar issue with rearview camera module programming. The solution is the same, and affected owners will receive recall notifications next month.
Stellantis is also recalling 53 units of the 2025 Ram 1500 pickup trucks due to a software error in the headlamp modules, which could result in malfunctioning headlights. As this issue is also software-related, the company will resolve it with a straightforward software update.
Lastly, Alfa Romeo will recall the 2019 and 2020 models of the Giulia and Stelvio. This recall, previously reported by the media, involves 101 brake boosters. The input rod of these boosters may loosen, potentially leading to a complete separation of brake components. If this occurs, the electronic parking brake switch would be the only available braking method.
Among the 2,021 affected vehicles, 1,025 are Giulia models manufactured between May 30, 2019, and February 6, 2020. The remaining 996 are Stelvio models produced from May 23, 2019, to December 20, 2019. Stellantis advises owners to monitor their vehicles for abnormal conditions, such as unusual noises or unsteady brake pedals, which could indicate that their vehicle is affected by this issue.
