Chrysler recalled more than 200,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos due to an antilock braking issue that can lead to a cascade of problems, increasing crash risk.
The measure is intended to apply a new remedy to the issue that a 2022 recall failed to resolve, though that remedy is still under development.
Due to the ABS module malfunction, the 2018 and 2019 SUVs’ brake lights can stay on, the driver may be able to start and put the vehicle into gear without applying the brakes, and the ABS and electronic stability control systems may stop working – the last two effects having been traced to the root problem this past August, according to a notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
The effects can lead to rollaways, compromised vehicle handling and control, and confusion of drivers encountering the vehicle from behind.
Though hundreds of warranty claims have been filed related to the issue before and after the original recall, no crashes or injuries have been tied to the problem, a recall document indicates.
Recall notices are scheduled to be mailed to consumers on Dec. 5.
