209k Jeep and Dodge recalled for Bad Brakes

Fiat Chrysler is recalling nearly 209,000 minivans and SUVs worldwide to fix a brake problem that can cause longer stopping distances.

The recall covers the 2018 Dodge Journey, 2019 Jeep Cherokee and the 2018 and 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan and Jeep Compass. Most are in the United States.

The company says a brake-system part wasn't built to specifications, allowing gas bubbles to form in the brake fluid. FCA has received no customer complaints or reports of any crashes or injuries from the problem.

Owners will be notified shortly. Dealers will replace the brake fluid, which Fiat Chrysler says will solve the problem.

And while the vehicle is in the shop they will do a free safety check and find $600 in non-warranty repairs that are “absolutely” necessary. Excellent marketing strategy..

So if the defective part is not replaced how will this stop the bubbles from forming again.?? Is there a mechanic who can explain?

Stop buying any Chrysler product. That's all they do is fix recalls.
