IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Electronic Stability Control
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Mopar Antilock Brake System (ABS) Control Module Part Numbers:
68453770AB, 68453770AC, 68453770AD, 68477878AB, 68477878AC, 68477878AD, 68563815AB, 68526616AB, 68526242AD.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY ITEM OF EQUIPMENT NEED REPAIRS?
FCA US records indicate that you may have purchased a Mopar ABS module for your vehicle. Some of the ABS modules may have incorrect software which prevents the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) telltale lamp from properly displaying under certain conditions. Unexpected performance of the ESC system with no warning to the driver can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US is conducting a voluntary equipment safety recall on all affected parts to update the software, repurchase, or replace suspect ABS control modules.
Be sure to bring the ABS module(s) with this letter to your dealership. We recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Z25
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced an equipment safety recall on certain Mopar Antilock Brake System (ABS) control module part numbers (PN’s)below:
68453770AB, 68453770AC, 68453770AD, 68477878AB, 68477878AC, 68477878AD, 68563815AB, 68526616AB, 68526242AD.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Customers may have purchased the above ABS control module PN’s that may have software which prevents the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) telltale lamp from properly displaying under certain conditions. Unexpected performance of the ESC system with no warning to the driver can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.126 S5.3 ESC Malfunction requires that “The vehicle must be equipped with a telltale that provides a warning to the driver of the occurrence of one or more malfunctions that affect the generation or transmission of control or response signals in the vehicle’s electronic stability control system.” Suspect vehicles may not display the ESC malfunction indicator lamp under certain conditions leaving the driver unaware of degraded ESC system that is not limiting engine torque during an ESC event.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to repurchase suspect ABS control modules. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 1st Quarter of 2022.
We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.

Description of Noncompliance :
Description of the
Noncompliance :
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (“FMVSS”) 571.126 S5.3 ESC
Malfunction requires that “The vehicle must be equipped with a telltale that
provides a warning to the driver of the occurrence of one or more malfunctions
that affect the generation or transmission of control or response signals in the
vehicle’s electronic stability control system.” Suspect parts may not display the
ESC malfunction indicator lamp under certain malfunction conditions that
affect the generation or transmission of control or response signals in the
vehicle’s electronic stability control system, leaving the driver unaware of
degraded ESC system performance that is not limiting engine torque during an
ESC event.
FMVSS 1 : 126 – Electronic stability control systems
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : Unexpected performance of the ESC system with no warning to the driver can
cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Description of the Cause : NR
Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur :
None

Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-017 Page 8
The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
Country : United States
Chronology :
• On November 15, 2021, during an unrelated FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) engineering vehicle test, it was noticed
when a certain diagnostic trouble code became active, the ESC malfunction indicator lamp was not illuminated.
• On December 9, 2021, supplier testing verified the issue on some 2021-2022 MY Dodge Durango vehicles and
2019-2022 MY Ram 2500/3500 trucks.
• On January 3, 2022, the FCA US Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance (“TSRC”) organization opened a
safety investigation based on engineering testing that the ESC malfunction indicator lamp may not illuminate.
• From January 2022, through February 2022, FCA US TSRC reviewed vehicle records and met with FCA US
engineering to review the issue and understand the part design and change history.
• On February 23, 2022, the FCA US TSRC organization recognized that the ESC system malfunction indicator
lamp may not illuminate under certain conditions when the ESC system experienced a fault, potentially not in
compliance with FMVSS No. 126.
• On March 03, 2022, FCA US determined, through the Vehicle Regulations Committee, to conduct a voluntary
safety recall of the affected units.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to update
the software, repurchase, or replace suspect ABS control modules.
FCA US has a longstanding policy and practice of reimbursing owners who
have incurred the cost of repairing a problem that subsequently becomes
the subject of a field action. To ensure consistency, FCA US, as part of the
owner letter, will request that customers send the original receipt and/or
other adequate proof of payment to the company for confirmation of the
expense.
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
The remedy is updated ABS control module software that will meet FMVSS
126 ESC Malfunction requirements.
