8 models pulled back over the rear-camera and stability gear federal standards require on new vehicles

Federal rules require new vehicles to show a working rear view and keep stability control on duty. September 2026 recall filings show those safeguards failing across several brands and body styles. Eight models make up this gallery, each tied to a specific NHTSA recall campaign.

1. Jeep Grand Wagoneer: Camera Image Goes Dark

Among the biggest names on this list, the Grand Wagoneer is part of an 844,027-vehicle Stellantis recall for a rearview camera image that fails to display. According to the NHTSA campaign filing, that failure violates the federal rear visibility standard. The campaign covers a large group of Stellantis vehicles, not only this one.

A backup camera that shows nothing leaves a driver without the view the rule was written to guarantee when reversing. Because the filing is a single campaign shared across several nameplates, the same defect and remedy apply to each of them. Owners of affected vehicles should watch for manufacturer notices and check the campaign number with a dealer to confirm their own vehicle is included.

2. Ram 2500: Heavy-Duty Rear View

Heavy-duty trucks are not exempt from camera rules, and the Ram 2500 is part of the same 844,027-vehicle Stellantis recall. The reason given in the federal recall record is a rearview camera image that fails to display, which the filing says violates the federal rear visibility standard.

Large pickups have long rear ends and tall tailgates, so a working camera matters when backing up near people or objects. The recall is one shared campaign rather than a truck-specific action, which means the Ram appears alongside Jeep models with the identical problem. Anyone driving a recalled truck should confirm eligibility using the campaign number or a dealer lookup, since coverage depends on the specific vehicles named in the filing.

3. Jeep Cherokee: Blank Backup Screen

Rounding out the Stellantis trio, the Jeep Cherokee is also named in the 844,027-vehicle recall tied to a rearview camera image that fails to display. The NHTSA recall report states that the condition violates the federal rear visibility standard.

For a compact crossover that spends much of its life in parking lots and driveways, a camera that cannot show its image removes a safety aid many drivers rely on. The filing treats the problem as a compliance failure, not a convenience issue. Owners should look for notification from the manufacturer and, when in doubt, check the campaign number with a dealer to learn whether their vehicle falls inside the recall.

4. Chrysler Pacifica: Stability Control Sensor

A tiny part is behind this one. A total of 2,017 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles were recalled because a cracked capacitor in the brake pedal position sensor can disable electronic stability control, according to the NHTSA filing. The filing says the defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126.

Electronic stability control helps a driver keep a vehicle on course in a skid or sudden swerve, so losing it quietly is a meaningful safety concern. The volume is small next to the other campaigns here, yet the standard involved is the same kind of baseline requirement. Owners of the affected minivans should watch for a recall letter and ask a dealer to confirm whether their vehicle is among the 2,017.

5. Chrysler Voyager: Brake Pedal Capacitor

Sharing the same campaign as the Pacifica, the Chrysler Voyager is among 2,017 vehicles recalled over a cracked brake pedal position sensor capacitor. As laid out in the recall campaign record, the crack can disable electronic stability control, violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126.

The Voyager is built to carry families, which makes dependable stability control especially relevant on wet or uneven roads. Because the problem sits in a sensor capacitor rather than in software, the fault is a physical component defect rather than a software glitch. Owners should wait for manufacturer notification and use the campaign number to verify coverage with a dealer.

6. Mitsubishi Outlander: Infotainment Software Glitch

Software, not hardware, drives this recall. A total of 67,146 Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles were recalled because infotainment software may fail to display the rearview camera image in reverse, according to the NHTSA campaign listing. The filing says that violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111.

Modern cars route the backup camera through the same touchscreen that runs music and navigation, so a bug in that system can take away a safety feature. Standard 111 governs rear visibility, which is why a blank screen in reverse counts as a compliance problem rather than a mere annoyance. Owners should look for a notice from the manufacturer and check with a dealer to confirm their vehicle is covered by the campaign.

7. Ford Ranger: Screen Power Loss

Power loss is the trigger in this one. Some 11,405 Ford Ranger pickups were recalled under NHTSA’s back-over prevention display category because the 10.1-inch screen may lose power and fail to show the rearview camera image, per the federal recall filing.

When the center screen shuts off, the camera feed goes with it, leaving the driver to rely on mirrors and a glance over the shoulder while reversing. The recall category itself points to the purpose of the rule, which is preventing back-over crashes. Owners of the affected trucks should watch for a manufacturer letter and ask a dealer to confirm eligibility using the campaign number before assuming their Ranger is or is not included.

8. Chevrolet Trax: Rearview Image Trouble

General Motors adds its own large campaign, and the Chevrolet Trax is one of 306,511 GM vehicles recalled under NHTSA’s back-over prevention camera category. The NHTSA recall document says the rearview image may not display correctly.

A camera image that fails to appear properly can leave a driver without a reliable view behind the vehicle, which is exactly the situation back-over rules aim to prevent. The campaign spans many GM vehicles, so the Trax is one of several models caught up in the same action. Owners should expect manufacturer notification and can confirm whether a specific vehicle is covered by giving the campaign number to a dealer.
