SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Safety Recalls

Critical #22V140000 Plain English
Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The ABS control module is like the brain of your vehicle's braking system. It helps your vehicle stop smoothly and safely by controlling the brakes. In your 2019-2022 Ram 2500, 2021-2022 Dodge Durango, or 2019-2022 3500 cab chassis, the ABS control module's software might not work correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ABS control module fails to work properly, the light on your dashboard that tells you if the electronic stability control is malfunctioning might not come on. This increases the risk of a crash if there's a problem with the stability control system.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the ABS control module's software to fix the issue, and this service is completely free. You should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as possible after receiving the recall notice. This timing describes the original 2022 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
