- What is wrong
- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Risk
- If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.

The ABS pump went out on the vehicle on august 30, 2013. It has been at the dealer since september 4, 2013. I have information stating that the pump is covered under a lifetime warranty and chrysler corporation has given me the run around on it saying that it does not mean lifetime since it failed again after the original recall repair. I am sorry but I thought lifetime meant lifetime according to the documents that I have and read. They refuse to provide me with an alternate car to drive so I can get to work stating that is not covered either. They are the poorest excuse of a business that I have ever dealt with and tell you something different with each customer service representative you speak to. They cannot even tell the same lies twice. I was first informed that they couldn't get the parts, then told they were on back order and now I am told they do not have an eta for the parts. I will not advise anyone to purchase any of their products since they do not honor warranties or stand behind their products.
