Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have a spare tire that does not match the specifications listed on the tire placard. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110, âtire selection and rims.â

Why it matters: If installed, the incorrectly sized spare tire may unexpectedly activate the electronic stability control (esc) system, altering the effectiveness of the esc system, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair vehicles as neccessary free of charge. The safety recall began on May 21, 2012. Owners should contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
