The short version

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) reported a problem with the electrical system instrument cluster/panel. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The brightness of the backlighting for the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) cannot be adjusted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

WHY IT MATTERS

An instrument cluster that is too bright, and cannot be dimmed, can reduce the driver's ability to see at night, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update IPC software, as necessary, free of charge.
