What Happened
The brake caliper on your Jeep or Dodge is a crucial part that helps your vehicle stop smoothly. In some 2015-2016 models, the caliper on the left front wheel could crack because it was made with the wrong material.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake caliper cracks, you may need to press the brake pedal harder and longer to stop your vehicle. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially in emergency situations.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will inspect the brake caliper and replace it with a new one, if necessary, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
