Wonder if both used the same supplier?

Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Model Year Ram 1500 (DT), Ram 2500 (DJ), and Ram 3500 10K LB. Chassis Cab (DF) vehicles. for radio software which may prevent the rearview image from displaying. This leads to a failure to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, “Rear Visibility.”
I had never driven a vehicle with a rearview image display until last January when I rented a Ram 1500 for a trip. (No RV in tow.) I found the camera display, with colored lines directing me where to go, sometimes helpful but mostly very confusing--and I instead resorted to just looking over my shoulder out the back window like I've always done when driving.

Are you saying that rearview cameras are now considered standard safety equipment for all new vehicles, mandated by law? Or for trucks towing trailers?
