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
On certain vehicles, an electronic fault may create a situation where the cruise control cannot be deactivated. If this occurs and the driver does not apply the brakes or shift the transmission to neutral, the vehicle could maintain speed or accelerate without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software and perform an update as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised not to use the cruise control until the vehicle is repaired.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the transmission wire harness may have improper crimps. This could cause an unexpected shift to neutral which 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. Correction: Dealers will update the software of the Transmission Control Module (TCM), and replace the transaxle wire harness as necessary.
Summary
Certain vehicles may have had the front passenger seat occupant classification module or seat cushion foam replaced during regular servicing with a portion of a service kit. These components should have been installed together as a calibrated set. If a vehicle only had a portion of the service kit installed, occupant classification system function could be affected, which could potentially increase the risk of an improper passenger airbag deployment in a crash (when warranted), increasing the risk of injury to the occupant. Correction: In vehicles where a portion of a service kit was installed, dealers will install a full seat service kit.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with either a 2.4L engine or a 3.6L engine, the Power Distribution Center (PDC) 12-wire connector contains terminals that may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. These damaged PDC connector terminal(s) could cause intermittent electrical connection(s) which could result in the engine stalling without warning and/or the transaxle defaulting to “Neutral.” If this were to occur under certain driving conditions, it could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will either replace the C4 connector using a 12 wire splice kit (3.6L engine) or replace the transmission wiring harness (2.4L engine).
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with 9-speed automatic transmissions, the PARK pawl may not properly engage. If the parking pawl fails to engage and the driver does not use the parking brake, the vehicle may roll away after the brake pedal is released, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the transmission and repair if necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the driver's door wiring harness may overheat, which could result in an inoperative window and/or door locks, burning odour, smoke, or fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the door wiring harness.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the mounting ring loops on rear shock absorbers may fail, allowing one end of the shock absorber to separate from its mounting. This could allow the shock absorber to contact and damage other components such as brake lines and/or tires, which could affect vehicle stability and/or braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect both rear shock absorbers and replace those found to be suspect.
Summary
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Potential Consequence
If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
