REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) with a missing or partially missing weld of the rotor to the shaft of the brushless motor. During a hard braking maneuver, the ABS HCU rotor and shaft may separate, which could lead to a reduction in braking assistance and loss of ABS functionality. Full mechanical braking is still available. The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality may reduce the overall braking performance which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the suspect ABS HCU. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 2nd Quarter of 2021.
