Details |
Issue: On certain Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (“PHEV”), there could be a problem with the connection at the 12-volt battery isolator post. As a result, the connection could build a high-resistance and overheat. Note: This connection is located on the floor behind the driver’s seat. Safety Risk: A high-resistance connection could cause a fire. This can happen even if the vehicle is parked. Corrective Actions: FCA will notify owners by mail. The final repairs for this recall are under development. In the interim, FCA will advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the 12-volt battery isolator post. If the connection is damaged, a loaner vehicle will be provided. FCA will send you a second letter once the final repairs are available. Note: FCA advises you to take the following precautions until the final repairs are completed: - Do not park your vehicle inside of a building or structure, or near other vehicles. - Keep liquids out of the backseat area, including things like beverages, wet items, umbrellas, or bottled liquids that may leak.
