1. Brakes

What's wrong, in plain English: Anything that slows the car down. Treat brake recalls as urgent. Hard braking may cause the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) rotor shaft to separate, a reduction of braking assist, and a loss of ABS.

What could happen: The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality can reduce overall braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the ABS HCU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 29, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
