The short version

Chrysler Group LLC reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The parking brake cable equalizer was set incorrectly and may not hold the vehicle on a 20% grade. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the parking brake performance requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the parking brake fails to operate as designed, the vehicle could roll when parked, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reset the parking brake cable equalizer if required, free of charge.
