Affected HCUs were found to be susceptible to failure or malfunction which could impact the performance of the ABS system or Electronic Stability Control/Traction Control, potentially increasing the risk of accident.

Stellantis plans to notify owners of the affected vehicles by January 9, 2025 and has assured customers that free repairs will be offered.
