What's wrong, in plain English
The radio software in these trucks can stop the rearview camera picture from appearing on the screen. Federal safety rules require these vehicles to provide a rear view image, and with this software problem they do not meet that requirement. Chrysler is recalling certain 2022-2023 Ram 1500 and Ram 3500 Cab Chassis rated under 10,000 pounds, along with 2022-2024 Ram 2500 trucks. Dealers will load corrected radio software at no cost to the owner.
