Electrical System · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have a 220 amp alternator that may suddenly fail.
Why it matters: If the alternator fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. There is also the possibility that the alternator may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the alternator with a revised alternator, free of charge. The recall began on December 23, 2016.
