Summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 96 Mopar Generation 1 Intake Heater Grid Relays with part number 68444169AB. These specific relays can experience an electrical short circuit regardless of whether the vehicle's ignition is turned on or off. Dealers will replace the affected relays with a new part free of charge to prevent the risk of a vehicle fire.

Risk
