Dodge Backup Camera and Pedestrian Warning Recalls Explained for Owners
Rearview images that fail to display dominate these nine Dodge back over prevention recalls, alongside an image that remains displayed and missing pedestrian sounds. Journey appears in the 2018 mirror remedy notice and the 2019-2020 camera microprocessor notice. Durango appears for a lingering image on certain 2019-2020 vehicles and radio software problems on certain 2021-2022 vehicles. Charger notices address stealth mode on certain 2018-2020 Pursuit vehicles, exterior warning sound on certain 2024-2025 EVs, and rearview display failure on certain 2026-2027 vehicles. Hornet recurs in the 2023-2025 display notice and the 2023-2024 plug-in hybrid pedestrian siren notice. These notices identify distinct software, display, camera, and sound-system problems.

Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the nine listed notices tells owners to stop driving or park outside. This applies to the Journey image-loss and camera microprocessor notices, Charger Pursuit stealth-mode notice, Durango radio software notice, Hornet display notice, lingering-image notice, Hornet pedestrian siren notice, Charger amplifier notice, and 78D rearview camera notice. For each of these recalls, the supplied notice does not give a stop-driving instruction. The OTA options described in certain notices concern the repair method; they do not provide a separate driving instruction.
What the free repair involves
Specified remedies are free. U56 replaces the mirror; 66B/79B updates radio software through dealers or OTA; 13C/38C updates software or replaces the display as necessary. The Hornet siren recall inspects its connection and secures or replaces components if needed. 44C inspects and updates amplifier software as necessary. The 2025 Journey notice replaces the camera; 78D updates radio software through dealers or OTA.
