What this recall means for you
The instrument panel in certain trucks may show an incorrect brake system warning light. Because the display does not reliably alert the driver to the brake system status, a driver may not be warned of a brake-related problem, which increases the risk of a crash. The vehicles also fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101, which covers controls and displays.
To fix the problem, dealers will replace the instrument panel cluster at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed September 9, 2025. If you have questions, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403, referencing recall number 79C.
