Statement: Sensor Wiring

October 19, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 182,743 SUVs in the U.S. to replace wiring that may, in certain crash events, disconnect from the vehicles’ impact sensors.

Impact sensors help determine when airbags and pretensioners should be activated. A wiring disconnect may prevent their deployment.

This campaign was prompted by a routine, in-house crash test. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries, accidents, warranty claims or customer complaints.

Service availability is imminent. FCA US dealers will reroute wiring at no charge. Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule appointments.

The campaign affects certain 2016 and 2017 Jeep Wrangler SUVs, however, the model-year 2017 vehicles are all in company hands. Also subject to recall are an estimated 18,011 vehicles in Canada, 3,087 in Mexico and 20,948 outside the NAFTA region.

Customers with questions or concerns may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at (800)-853-1403.
