NHTSA recall 13V483000
Electrical System, Electronic Stability Control (Esc), Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (esc) function. Because of these conditions, the vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety…
Why it matters: A loss of ABS and esc function reduces the driver's ability to control the vehicle. Drivers would not be warned of brake system failures or any other failures which would be illuminated on the dashboard display. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire, free of charge. The recall began on November 19, 2013.
