SummaryFMVSS 111, Rear Visibility, S6.2.4 Linger time requires that "The rearview image meeting the requirements of S6.2.1 and S6.2.2 shall not be displayed after the backing event has ended." S4. Definitions, "Backing event" is defined as "an amount of time which starts when the vehicle's direction selector is placed in reverse, and ends [...] when the vehicle forward motion reaches: [...] (c) a continuous duration of 10 seconds." In certain situations, the rearview image in suspect vehicles will linger until a drive cycle ends, which can be longer than 10 seconds.

RemedyFCA US will conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall to flash the suspect radios with updated software.

My dealer currently won't even install the parts I am owed from the sale due to the pandemic, will I really be able to get this fixed in a timely manner?

Wouldn't be surprised if they do this as a OTA update
