The hazard: Visibility or lighting defect

A lighting or visibility defect prompted this notice. Many of these remedies are quick, and some are delivered over the air.

What the notice says: An incorrect cross beam may not adequately protect occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Why it matters: Lights, wipers, mirrors, the rear camera, the windshield or the instrument display may not work as required. These faults reduce what the driver can see, or what other road users can see of the vehicle.

What to do about Visibility

Chrysler — A lighting or visibility defect prompted this notice. Many of these remedies are quick, and some are delivered over the air.

  1. Check the specific item the notice names — a reversing camera or a dashboard display that works intermittently still counts as a defect.
  2. If an instrument cluster goes blank, note when it happens; that detail helps the dealer reproduce the fault.
  3. Keep the repair order the dealer hands you. It is your proof the campaign was closed out, and it matters at resale.
  4. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you do anything else. A campaign covers a build range, not every car of that model year, and the VIN lookup is the only thing that confirms yours is included.

Getting the repair booked and paid for

The money side of a vehicle recall is simple. The scheduling side is where people lose weeks.

  • Ask whether the parts are physically in stock before you accept a date. A booking without parts is a wasted morning.
  • If the dealer says the remedy is not yet available, ask to be put on their notification list and get that in writing by email.
  • Where the manufacturer has issued an interim measure — park outside, do not drive, a software limiter — follow it until the full remedy is done.
  • Reimbursement claims for earlier out-of-pocket repairs go to the manufacturer, not the dealer, and need the original itemised invoice.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will replace the cross beam, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 16, 2025. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 71C. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 11, 2025.
