You'd be forgiven for thinking cameras weren't an integral element of driving. Sure, the best dash cams are useful, though not absolutely essential. Likewise, the best backup cameras can be handy for parking, but we managed for decades without them, simply by turning our heads to look through the rear window.
But now Stellantis, parent company of Jeep, has issued a safety recall of over 7000 Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee SUVs in Canada. However, this is not because of anything like potential brake failure or possible tyre defects, but rather for a software issue that could prevent their rear-view cameras automatically activating when engaging reverse gear. The issue affects a total of 7025 Jeep vehicles, all from 2024.
