The short version

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) reported a problem with the wiring relays/solenoids. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

An electrical short in the relay may cause a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off.

WHY IT MATTERS

A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect and, if needed, replace the Solid State Intake Heater Grid Relay ("Relay"); if FCA US Recall ID Y08 (NHTSA Recall ID 21V-163) is open, then insulating material will be applied to the Relay after inspection, free of charge.
