What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured between May 19, 2014, and June 21, 2014. The recall addresses a defect in the driver-side door wiring harness, which may have been built with an insufficient wire gauge. This defect can result in excessive heat that melts the wiring insulation.

The melting insulation may cause an electrical short, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire. No specific number of affected vehicles is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the specified production window for the 2015 model year.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the door wiring harness free of charge. The recall began on October 3, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
