Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with gme 280hp engines and all wheel drive ("awd"). The brake fluid line may contact a coolant hose clamp, possibly causing brake fluid to leak onto the exhaust.

Why it matters: Brake fluid leaking onto the exhaust can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket on the brake fluid line to prevent contact with the coolant hose clamp. If damage is found on the brake line, it will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began January 10, 2019.
