Safety Risk: A cooling fan circuit that overheats could increase the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: FCA will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the engine cooling fan module.

Summary
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The sunvisor airbag warning label, User Guides and Owner’s Information DVDs incorrectly identify the vehicle’s passenger and driver frontal airbag systems as “Advanced Airbags”. In the event that occupants rely on the Owner’s Information or User Guide, they may position themselves closer to the airbag than they would if compliant information regarding the airbag system had been provided, which may increase the risk of injury to a front seat occupant in a crash where frontal airbag deployment is warranted. Correction: FCA Canada will provide vehicle owners with a supplement to the Owner’s Information DVD and User Guide to reflect the use of non-advanced airbags. Additionally, FCA Canada will also provide a replacement sunvisor airbag warning label to identify airbags as non-advanced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a defect may cause the transmission pump rotor to seize or break, resulting in a loss of transmission pressure. This could result in a loss of motive power which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions may increase the risk of a crash causing injury. Correction: dealers will replace the transmission pump assembly.

Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine, the electrical (CAN-C) communication connector located on the floor in front of the driver's seat could become corroded. If this were to occur, it could result in a loss of communication to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) potentially resulting in a default shift to neutral, a loss of motive power and a no start condition, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will relocate the CAN-C bus communication connector to under the instrument panel. Connectors exhibiting signs of corrosion will be replaced.
Summary

This may result in loss of motive power and/or partial or complete loss of function of the following safety systems; Airbag/supplemental restraint systems (SRS), Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Instrument Panel Cluster. The loss of motive power, ABS and/or ESC system(s), in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. The loss of airbag/SRS function in a crash that warrants airbag/SRS function may increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
