SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Safety Recalls

Critical #10V236000 Plain English
Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Manufacturer
CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
What Happened
The brake system in your Jeep Wrangler has a potential issue. The inner fender liner on one side of your vehicle could be rubbing against a brake tube, causing it to wear down and leak brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake tube leaks, you could lose some brake power at one of your wheels, making it harder to stop. This increases the risk of a crash, especially on steep hills or when driving at high speeds.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will inspect and repair the brake system to prevent the tube from wearing down and leaking brake fluid — at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification with instructions on how to schedule the repair.

What Happened
The brake tubes in your Jeep Wrangler are like the veins that carry brake fluid to the wheels. In some 2007-2008 models, there's a risk that these tubes could touch the steering shaft and get damaged.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake tubes get worn through, you could lose some of your brakes while driving, which could cause a crash without warning. This is a serious safety issue, and you should take it seriously.
Free Fix
Your authorized Jeep dealer will inspect the brake tubes to see if they're damaged, replace any that are, and install a protective clip to prevent future damage. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
