Ram has notified me that 2021 trucks with "reverse steer" have been recalled because the camera won't always work, depending on how the owner has configured the settings. I happen to have one of these trucks. I don't have any problems with the rear view camera. MY PROBLEM is that the REVERSE STEER doesn't work. AT ALL. I have an appointment tomorrow for my dealer to check my truck (and trailer) to see what's wrong. I wonder if the recall is related. Does anyone else have the reverse steer function... and how well does it work for you?
Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk Chrysler Recall Y-30
FMVSS No. 111 S5.5.6 requires that the rear visibility system default to the rearview image being visible, and meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 111 S5.5.1 (field of view) and S5.5.2 (image size) at the beginning of each backing event, regardless of any modifications to the field of view that the driver had previously selected. Suspect vehicles may not display the rear view image during a backing event. The rearview image is not displayed if attempting to reference the image while backing. If this warning is not heeded, backing without verifying it is safe to do so could lead to an increased risk of injury to people outside the vehicle.
