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 fuel pump relay could fail. A fuel pump relay failure can result in a no-start condition or cause a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: Vehicles that had a fuel pump relay replaced as part of a Transport Canada Recall No. 2014-386 (FCA Recall No. P54) or 2015-085 (R09) require a second repair under this recall. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump relay, mounting bracket and related wiring.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a brake booster shield may have been incorrectly installed as part of recall P14/2014-112. An incorrectly installed shield could be less effective in diverting water away from the brake booster, creating the possibility of corrosion allowing water to get inside. In a cold climate, water inside the brake booster could freeze limiting the braking ability of the vehicle, resulting in longer braking distances, increasing the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the installation of the brake booster shield and perform repairs as necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering (“EHPS”), the alternator may fail suddenly. This could result in the engine stalling, causing a loss of motive power which could increase the risk of a crash as well as disable various vehicle safety systems, and could also cause a fire. Both issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the part number on the alternator, and will replace the alternator as necessary. Note: Only specific engine and alternator combinations are affected by this campaign.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with illuminated sun visor vanity mirrors with 120mm wiring, service repairs requiring removal of the sun visors and/or headliner may cause an electrical short circuit which could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Vehicles equipped with 120mm wiring that were previously repaired under recall 2014-275 will require repair under this recall. Correction: Dealers will replace the sun visors and modify the surrounding sheet metal and install vanity lamp wiring guides.
Summary
This recall was replaced by Transport Canada Recall No. 2019-573 (FCA Recall No. V62). On certain vehicles, a fuel pump relay within the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM-7) could fail, causing the engine to stall or to fail to start. Engine stalling would result in a loss of motive power, which, in conjunction with driver reactions and traffic conditions, could increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a revised fuel pump relay external to the TIPM-7.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with 3.6L engines and 160 amp output alternators, the alternator may fail suddenly. This could result in the engine stalling, causing a loss of motive power which could increase the risk of a crash as well as disable various vehicle safety systems, and could also cause a fire. Both issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the alternator.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with illuminated sun visor vanity mirrors, service repairs requiring removal of the sun visors and/or headliner may cause an electrical short circuit, which could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect wiring for damage and repair as necessary, re-route wiring and install a sun visor spacer.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the centre shell of the brake booster may corrode. A corroded centre shell could allow water to get inside the brake booster, which in a cold climate may freeze. This could result in inadequate braking, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace any brake booster that has an unacceptable loss of vacuum pressure, all affected vehicles will have a water diverter shield added to the brake booster.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) may have an out of specification traction isolation valve. This would cause the driver to experience a momentary hard brake pedal feel during certain braking events, which in conjunction with driver reactions, may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ABS module.
