The brake master cylinder is a critical part of your vehicle's brake system - it's the part that helps apply pressure to your brake pads when you press the pedal. The ones sold under the names NAPA, Raybestos, and others may not work properly in very cold temperatures, potentially causing a leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake fluid leaks, it could lead to a loss of brake pressure, making it harder to stop your vehicle. This could increase your stopping distance, and unfortunately, might even cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your brake master cylinder will be replaced by Affinia Brake Parts, Inc. at no charge. You should contact them at 1-800-323-0354 to schedule the repair.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2002-2003 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured January 9, 2001, to March 28, 2003, 2002-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 13, 2001, to May 23 2003, and 2003-2004 Dodge Viper vehicles manufactured November 1, 2001, to June 30, 2004. Due to electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the air bag electronic control module (ECM), a component in the ECM may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Original — Remedy

This recall remedy was applied during earlier recall campaigns of these vehicles under safety recalls 12V527 and 13V040. All owners that have not had the recall repair performed under safety recalls 12V527 or 13V040 are strongly encouraged to have it performed and not wait for the final remedy to be deployed to the field.

The air bag control module in your Jeep is like a computer that decides when to deploy the airbags in a crash. In some 2002-2004 vehicles, this module might fail and make the airbags go off unnecessarily while you're driving.
Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will install a special wire to the airbag control module to prevent this problem, and they'll do it for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, especially since you may have already gotten a notice about this issue in January 2013.
