What Happened
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) module in your Jeep Grand Cherokee helps your vehicle stop safely and stay stable on the road. In some 2014 models made between January 2013 and August 2013, this module can malfunction due to a computer glitch and loose wires.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your brake warning lights might flicker on and off, and your ABS and ESC might not work as they should. This could make it harder to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and fix the loose wires for free, so you can drive safely without worrying about these issues.

Original — What Happened
Chrysler Group, LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured January 8, 2013, through August 20, 2013. Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function. Because of these conditions, the vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 101, "Controls and Displays," and No. 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A loss of ABS and ESC function reduces the driver's ability to control the vehicle. Drivers would not be warned of brake system failures or any other failures which would be illuminated on the dashboard display. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire, free of charge. The recall began on November 19, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N58.
