What is wrong
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018 Dodge Journey vehicles. When reverse gear has been selected, the rear camera view may not be fully visible within two seconds.

If the full camera view is delayed and the driver does not check their surroundings before backing up, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
