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.

Chronology :
• On February 23, 2022, FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance (“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

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.

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.
