What Happened
The anti-lock braking system in your Durango or Grand Cherokee helps you stop safely on slippery roads. In some 2012-2013 models, the system could make the brake pedal feel harder than usual during certain braking events.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake pedal feels hard, you might press it less firmly than you should, which could make it take longer to stop the vehicle. This could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the anti-lock braking system's computer software, and it will be done at no cost to you. You'll get a notification when it's time to bring your vehicle in for the update.
