What happened

Chrysler is recalling certain RAM ProMaster Trailer Light Control Modules (part number 68229650AB) that were sold as accessories for RAM ProMaster and ProMaster City vehicles. The modules contain a software error that can prevent trailer brake lights from illuminating when the brakes are applied, which increases the risk of a crash and violates federal safety standards for vehicle lighting.

Chrysler will mail notification letters to owners and dealers will replace the affected Trailer Tow Light Control Modules at no cost. The recall began on June 20, 2016. Owners should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for assistance, and can reference recall number S29.
