Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the fuel delivery module could fail and cause a loss of engine power while driving. Note: This problem could cause the malfunction indicator light to turn on. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel delivery module.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the connector for the driver and/or passenger-front seat belt buckle sensor(s) could fail and cause the seat airbag(s) to deploy with too much force. Note: This problem would cause the airbag warning light to display on the instrument panel or the seat belt reminder chime and warning light to stay on, even if you're buckled. Safety Risk: An airbag that deploys with too much force could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the connector for the driver and/or passenger-front seat belt buckle sensor(s).
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label and/or the compliance label may list incorrect tire size and/or tire pressure information. This could lead you to inflate the tires incorrectly and/or install the wrong tires. These errors could lead to poor handling and/or a tire failure. Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the tire and loading information label and/or the compliance label.
Summary
Issue: In certain situations, the braking system could apply too much force to the brake rotors. If this happens, the brake rotors could crack and suddenly cause reduced braking. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic matrix brakes. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the brake system module (BSM) software.
Summary
Issue: On certain cars, the tire placard label has some errors in recommended tire pressure. Specifically, the pounds per square inch (“PSI”) pressures have small errors: 1. Cars with rear 225/45R18 tires incorrectly list 35 PSI instead of 36 PSI. 2. Cars with rear 225/40R19 tires incorrectly list 37 PSI instead of 39 PSI. 3. Cars with rear 225/35R19 tires incorrectly list 33 PSI instead of 35 PSI. All of the metric pressures are correct. Safety Risk: These small variations in recommended tire pressure are unlikely to affect safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has made production changes to ensure that the tire placard label on all new cars has the correct tire inflation pressures.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the fuel gauge may display the wrong fuel level (higher) when parked on a slope of at least 10 degrees. This could cause a driver to believe there is fuel when the tank is empty. In the worst case scenario, the vehicle could unexpectedly run out of fuel and stall. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the body control module software.
Summary
Issue: Under specific driving conditions, the driver may not be able to cancel the adaptive cruise control (ACC) setting. Safety Risk: If the driver does not shift to neutral or apply the brakes to stop the vehicle, this can cause a crash without warning. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the brake system software. Drivers should not use the adaptive cruise control feature until this update is completed.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD), a coolant hose clamp may rub against a brake fluid line in the engine compartment. Over time, this could lead to brake fluid leaking onto the engine catalyst. This could cause an engine compartment fire, creating a risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket on the brake fluid line to ensure proper clearance from the coolant hose. If the brake line is found damaged, a new brake line will be installed.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L engine, the catalytic converter could overheat due to engine misfires. The high temperatures generated could damage the surrounding wiring or components, which could result in a loss of motive power and/or increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the engine control module software to prevent the catalytic converter from overheating.
