Component
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Manufacturer
Chrysler Group LLC
What Happened
The accelerator pedal is a critical part that helps you control your vehicle's speed. In some 2014 Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Cherokee models, this pedal can get stuck in a faulty mode that makes your vehicle keep accelerating even after you've taken your foot off the pedal.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens while you're driving, your vehicle could keep going faster than you want it to, making it harder to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will simply update the computer system that controls your vehicle's speed, and it's completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
