What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect in the braking system that could limit braking ability and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured between January 5, 2010, and September 8, 2013. The recall involves approximately 646,498 vehicles.
The subject vehicles have a brake booster with a center shell that may corrode, allowing water to get inside. If the water inside freezes, it could limit the braking ability of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will add a water diverter shield to the booster after testing it to confirm it can hold an acceptable amount of vacuum pressure. If the inspection confirms an unacceptable loss of vacuum pressure, the booster will be replaced. Repairs will be made free of charge. The recall began on May 30, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
