Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the left front brake caliper may crack due to being made from an incorrect material.

Why it matters: A cracked brake caliper may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front left brake caliper and depending on its casting date, replace it, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on May 12, 2016.
