Chrysler is Databecissuing a recall of 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles due to a potential antilock-brake system malfunction.

The recall, which was reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Nov. 7, states that 206,502 vehicles may be affected.

The recall pertains to 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2018-2019 Dodge Durango vehicles. If the antilock brake system malfunctions, brake lights may illuminate incorrectly, and the antilock brake system and electronic stability control may become disabled. Additionally, a driver may be able to start and shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied.

Chrysler is unaware of any related accidents or injuries and braking capability is unaffected in recalled vehicles, according to a statement provided by Stellantis, the automobile company that owns Chrysler.

The potential malfunction was discovered during a routine company review of warranty data, which led to an internal investigation, the statement added.

The remedy for the recall is currently under development, meaning the manufacturer has not provided a solution to the problem.

Affected customers will be advised when they may obtain service, which will be provided free of charge.

What does the antilock-brake system do?

An antilock-brake system moderates vehicle brake pressure in emergency-stopping situations. Instead of applying sudden, constant pressure to the brakes, the system rapidly pumps them, according to Kelly Blue Book. The system prevents wheels and steering from locking up, which can cause a vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control. Antilock-brake systems became federally mandated in 2012.
