What happened

Chrysler is recalling certain Mopar Stage 1 Kit Performance Packages Powertrain Control Modules (PCM) and Demon Crate PCMs due to a defect that can prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If a short circuit occurs in the vehicle's wiring while cruise control is engaged, the driver may be unable to turn off the cruise control by pressing the brake pedal or manually disabling it, which could cause the vehicle to maintain its current speed or accelerate unexpectedly and increase the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and authorized dealers will either perform a software update or replace the PCM at no cost. The recall began on July 26, 2018. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to schedule service, referencing recall numbers U82 or U83.
