Stellantis to repair Jeep, Dodge SUVs
DETROIT — Stellantis is recalling about 207,000 Jeep and Dodge SUVs in the U.S. to fix a computer problem that can disable the antilock brakes and electronic stability control safety features.
The recall covers certain 2018 and 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs.
Stellantis says in government recall documents posted Wednesday that the SUVs may have a brake control computer that falsely reads brake pressure. The computer can disable the safety features, illuminate the brake lights and let a driver shift out of park without putting a foot on the brake pedal. That can cause unintended movement.
The documents say the company is developing a repair. Owners will be notified by letter starting Thursday. — Associated Press
