The problem

The risk
The swollen seals can cause the brakes to drag, potentially overheating the brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake calipers and brake hoses and bleed the brakes, free of charge. The recall began October 24, 2019. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US' number for this recall is V98.
