Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to update configuration parameters in the body control module. 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 component will be an updated configuration parameter in the body control module.
