Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. If the driver has disabled the electronic stability control (esc) system, the system is required to be reactivated the next time the vehicle is started.

Why it matters: Operating the vehicle with the esc off may increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Fca will notify owners, and dealers will the update ABS control module software, free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2016.
