What Happened
The brake caliper on your Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango is a metal part that helps squeeze the brake pads to stop your vehicle. In some 2015-2016 models, it might crack due to a manufacturing mistake.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake caliper cracks, it could take longer to stop your vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash, especially in emergency situations.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the brake caliper and replace it if necessary, free of charge. You should contact the dealer for an appointment when you receive the recall notice.
