Mopar Hydraulic Control Unit: Service Brakes, Hydraulic recall
NHTSA campaign 23E019000 · 330 units potentially affected · filed Mar 9, 2023
What's wrong
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain Mopar Hydraulic Control Unit/Anti-lock Brake system modules (HCU) with part number 68085397AB. When installed in a vehicle, the HCU Module may falsely read pressure in the primary circuit and illuminate the brake lights, as well as allow the vehicle to start and shift out of park without first applying the brake pedal.
Why it matters
Constant brake light illumination and unintentional vehicle movement can both increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will repurchase the HCU modules, or replace installed HCU modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 21A.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
