Chrysler is recalling approximately 330 Mopar Hydraulic Control Unit/Anti-lock Brake system modules (HCU) with part number 68085397AB. These units, which were sold as replacement parts, can falsely detect pressure in the brake system, causing brake lights to stay on and allowing the vehicle to be started or shifted out of 'Park' without the driver pressing the brake pedal. Dealers will either repurchase the unused units or replace installed units free of charge.
The defect allows a vehicle to be shifted out of the 'Park' position without the brake pedal being depressed, which can lead to unintentional vehicle movement and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, constant brake light illumination can confuse other drivers, further increasing collision risks.
You have 2 options:
Repurchase of uninstalled HCU modules
Replacement of installed HCU modules
