Chrysler recalls over 200,000 Ram vehicles. See impacted models.
Chrysler has recalled over 200,000 Ram vehicles after discovering the cars' rearview cameras may not properly display images. The parent company of Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is Stellantis. According to a May 21 notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall applies to more than 235,000 Ram ProMaster vans with model years between 2022-2025. The vans' rearview cameras may not display an image and instead show up as a blank image, reducing the driver's view behind the car. "If the driver does not heed the blank screen warning and fails to otherwise make sure it is safe to operate the vehicle in reverse, a vehicle crash can occur," the recall report says.

Amazon's plan to develop in-car software for Jeep parent goes kaput. The original deal between Amazon and Stellantis, first announced in 2022, was to create a 'digital cockpit' for 'millions' of Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles — similar to how Google has developed operating systems for a handful of key automakers. But after three years, the two companies are now 'winding down' that aspect of their partnership, Reuters says. (The e-commerce company also said it would purchase electric Ram ProMaster delivery vans; no word on whether that deal went through.) And it's not looking good for a future Amazon in-car experience, as Reuters notes that most of the company's Digital Cabin staffers have resigned or left the company.
