Details

What's wrong: Water may leak into the wiring connectors for the rear liftgate and the liftgate-opening switch, causing corrosion.

Why it matters: Corrosion at the connectors may cause the liftgate to unintentionally open while moving at speeds of less than 3 miles per hour, allowing cargo to fall out of the vehicle, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install additional protection against water leaking into the liftgate wiring connectors and switch, free of charge. The recall began April 25, 2018.
