NHTSA recall 00V198000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Some vehicles may have been built with inadequate clearance between the rear axle vent hose and the brake hose.
Why it matters: A puncture in the rear brake hose will result in a loss of braking force at the rear wheels.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear brake hose for evidence of wear. Worn brake hoses will be replaced. The rear vent hose will be shortened by 3 inches and a clip will be installed to assure clearance between the axle vent line and brake hose is maintained.
