DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTIONS Please reference Safety Recall 21A. IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL Anti-lock Brake System Hydraulic Control Unit 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 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Units (HCU)s part number 68085397AB intended for use on some 2011 – 2022 model year Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2011 – 2020 model year Dodge Durango vehicles. It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? FCA US records indicate that you may have purchased an HCU service part for your vehicle [1]. When installed in a vehicle, an HCU / ABS module may falsely read pressure in the primary circuit which may illuminate the brake lights, as well as allow the vehicle to start and shift out of park without the brake pedal being depressed. This condition can cause unintended vehicle movement which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside the vehicle. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repurchase suspect HCUs. If installed on a vehicle, FCA US will replace the HCU [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the Julian date code of HCU manufacturing and repurchase suspect HCUs. If installed on a vehicle your dealer will replace the suspect HCU. The estimated repair time for on vehicle inspection/replacement of the HCU may take up to one and a half hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. We recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter and your HCU if uninstalled or vehicle if HCU is installed with you to your dealership. 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.
