4.8M Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: May 17, 2018
Safety Issue:

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 Risk:
If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.
Additional Details:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

NHTSA Campaign: 18V100000 SAFETY RECALL
180.5K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Feb 8, 2018
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.

Potential Risk:
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update the Body Control Module software. Dealers will also test the BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid as necessary. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U11.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS warning light and alarm come on while driving. If you have cruise control on, it then cancels the cruise control. After a few miles the warning light and alarm will go off, and works good for a few miles. Then the same thing happens - warning light and alarm come on again. This has been an ongoing problem, over a year. Went to dealer where purchased vehicle. Was told that Chrysler doesn't have a fix for this and doesn't have parts to fix it either. So there is nothing I can do. No parts to fix, dealer can't help, and meanwhile I have a faulty vehicle which is my main vehicle I drive. The ABS system is real handy here in Minnesota because of slippery roads in the winter with snow and ice.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

There is a well know issue with potential failures in the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), which can impact critical braking and stability systems, including ABS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and traction control. Manufacturer Recall # - C4B NHTSA Recall # - 24V-896 There has been a recall on this issue since Nov of 2024 however, there has been no remedy offered yet on most models affected. I am experiencing this failure on my 2018 RAM 2500. It is noted in the recall that this failure is a safety issue and can cause the car to crash without prior warning. The remedy is know by RAM as they have issued it for certain chasis types. The Brake HCU must be replaced. I believe RAM's delay for a remedy is simply the cost and they are willfully putting lives in danger over financial impacts.
