NHTSA recall 13V289000
Exterior Lighting · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with premium headlamps. In the affected vehicles, when switching between daytime running lights and parking lights, electrical spikes may cause the parking lamps to turn off. Without properly functioning parking lamps these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Without parking lamps, the vehicle may not be as visible to other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the central body controller software, free of charge. The recall began on September 12, 2013.
