Chrysler (FCA US, LLC): Disabled Rear Camera & Brake Light/FMVSS 111, 108

Agency Publication Date: September 12, 2024

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) has recalled approximately 46 Jeep Wrangler vehicles from the 2018-2024 model years. A wiring harness defect for the rearview camera and center brake light can cause a short circuit, disabling both the camera image and the brake light. Owners should contact a Chrysler dealer to confirm if their vehicle was already repaired during the service period that concluded in early 2024. This recall addresses failures to meet federal safety standards for rear visibility and vehicle lighting.

Risk

A disabled rearview camera reduces the driver's visibility when reversing, while a failing center brake light prevents other drivers from seeing that the vehicle is slowing down. Both conditions significantly increase the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) at www.nhtsa.gov/recalls or by contacting a local Jeep dealer.
Verify if your vehicle was part of the repair group that was serviced prior to January 15, 2024, or if additional service is required.
If your vehicle requires repair, contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to schedule a free replacement of the center brake light and rearview camera wiring harness or spare tire carrier assembly.
Mention recall number 77B when speaking with the manufacturer or your local dealer.
