Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-696 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to inspect the rear pedestrian siren connection and, if necessary, secure and/or replace the connector or siren. 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 : This recall is not related to a part defect but rather an assembly issue where the vehicle may have been built without the pedestrian alert siren being properly connected. The remedy will be to inspect and, if necessary, install or secure the pedestrian alert siren.
