REC-000294

active

0 FIAT CHRYSLER JEEP

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Chrysler Australia Pty Ltd trading as Fiat Chrysler Group

Recall date: 31 December 2013

Defect

The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) do not function correctly when the turn signal indicator is used.

Hazard

The opposite DRL, rather than the adjacent one, turns off when the turn signal is activated. This results in a non-compliance with Vehicle Homologation requirements (ECE R48). DRLs that do not function as intended make the vehicle less conspicuous in traffic and may increase the potential for a motor vehicle accident.

Remedy

A letter is being sent to affected owners. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the DRL function and repair the wiring if required.
