The short version
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) reported a problem with the windshield electrical heating element. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles may have been built with incompatible heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC), resulting in the windshield defrosting and defogging system being inoperable to drivers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems."
An inoperable defrosting and defogging system can reduce visibility for drivers in certain conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
FCA US, LLC will repurchase the affected vehicles, free of charge.
