Remedy	Dealers will replace both side curtain air bags, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed April 19, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 19B.

Component	BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Manufacturer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
NHTSA Campaign ID	20V512000
Summary	Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles equipped with a 'stealth mode.' When stealth mode is selected, the backup camera rearview image will not display when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, 'Rearview Mirrors.'
Consequence	The lack of a back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy	Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update body control module software to disable stealth mode when the vehicle is shifted into 'Reverse', free of charge. The recall began October 22, 2020. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W62.

Consequence	If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy	Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
