The brake master cylinder in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps you stop safely. The brake master cylinder from certain aftermarket brands, like NAPA and Raybestos, might not work properly in very cold temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake fluid leaks because of this issue, your brakes won't work as well, and you'll need longer to stop your vehicle. This could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your brake master cylinder will be replaced with a new one at no cost to you. Contact Affina Group at 1-800-323-0354 to schedule the repair, which is free and should be done as soon as possible.

The fuel pump in your vehicle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. The aftermarket pumps installed in some 1997-2004 Jeep Wrangler, 1997-2001 Cherokee, 1997-2004 Grand Cherokee, and 2000-2003 Dakota vehicles have a weak electrical connector that can break down over time, allowing fuel to leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If a fuel leak happens near an ignition source, like a spark from the engine, it could cause a fire. This is a serious risk that needs to be addressed.
Free Fix
Airtex will replace the affected fuel pump with a new, safe one at no charge. You should contact Airtex at 1-800-880-3056 to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
