Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Chrysler is recalling multiple 2014-2019 model year vehicles including the Dodge Journey, Charger, Challenger, and Durango; RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500; Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Wrangler; and Chrysler 300, 200, and Pacifica. The recall addresses a wiring defect in the cruise control system that could prevent the cruise control from disengaging when the driver attempts to turn it off or applies the brakes, potentially causing the vehicle to maintain its speed or accelerate, which increases the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will perform a free software flash to the engine or powertrain control module to fix the issue. Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update is completed. If cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, then place the vehicle in park once stopped. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to schedule the repair.
