Plain-English summary
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Jeep Renegade vehicles due to a software issue in the instrument cluster. This defect may cause multiple malfunction indicator lamps to illuminate on the instrument panel even when no actual malfunction exists. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
The primary risk associated with this defect is that if the malfunction indicator lamps illuminate at incorrect times, the driver may be unaware when a true malfunction occurs. This lack of accurate warning information increases the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the Instrument Panel Control software free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for more information. Chrysler's number for this recall is T50. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
