Issue:
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French.
Safety Risk:
This error does not affect vehicle safety.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the compliance label doesn't list the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), the tire size or the rim size. This could lead to overloading of the vehicle. Additionally, when the rims and tires are replaced, the wrong rims and/or tires could be installed. Both issues could cause poor handling or a tire failure.
Safety Risk:
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install a corrected compliance label.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label lists an incorrect vehicle capacity weight. This could lead to overloading of the vehicle and cause poor handling or a tire failure.
Safety Risk:
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
FCA notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the tire and loading information label.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the compliance label does not list the vehicle type in French and lists incorrect measuring units for the gross axle weight ratings (GAWR). This could lead to overloading of the vehicle and cause poor handling or a tire failure. Additionally, the tire and loading information label may be printed in English only. Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the labels in both English and French.
Safety Risk:
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a label that is missing information in French could cause confusion.
Corrective Actions:
FCA will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the compliance label. A French tire and loading information label will also be installed, if necessary.
Issue:
On certain plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, the pedestrian alert siren may be missing or not connected properly. As a result, the vehicle may not make a reverse warning sound when backing up, which doesn't meet the requirements of the Canadian regulations.
Safety Risk:
A pedestrian alert siren that doesn't work could create an increased risk of injury for other road users.
Corrective Actions:
FCA will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, secure or replace the connector for the pedestrian alert siren. If the siren is missing, one will be installed.
Issue:
On certain plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, some connections on the integrated dual charging module (IDCM) and high-voltage ground connections may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the connections could overheat.
Safety Risk:
An overheated connection could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the connections from the integrated dual charging module (IDCM) to the 12 V battery and two high-voltage ground connections. The dealership will replace and tighten them as necessary. FCA Canada advises to park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.
