NHTSA recall 99V244000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: The right rear brake tube can contact the exhaust system clamp and wear a hole in it.
Why it matters: Daimlerchrysler recall no. 843. If this happens, the tube could leak, reducing the effectiveness of one-half of the diagonally split braking system, and resulting in longer stopping distances.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the brake tubes for visible evidence of contact with the exhaust system clamp. If the tube shows evidence of contact, it will be replaced. If no evidence of contact exists, the tube will be fastened with a clip.
