On certain vehicles, the shifter cable may detach. As a result, the transmission may not shift gears when the shifter is moved. Additionally, if the vehicle isn't in the Park (P) position, and the parking brake isn't applied, the vehicle could roll away. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Vehicles that were repaired under V34 (Transport Canada recall no. 2019-183) also require this repair.
A parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash.
FCA Canada will notify owners in writing. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French.
This error does not affect vehicle safety.
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
On certain cars equipped with an automatic transmission, the shifter cable may detach. This could cause the transmission not to shift gears when the shifter is moved. If a driver attempts to exit the car while it is not in the Park position, and the parking brake is not applied, the car could move suddenly.
Sudden and unexpected movement of the car could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the transmission side shifter cable bushing with an improved one. Note: The gear position indicator on the instrument cluster and next to the shifter will continue to work properly. In addition, if the driver's door is opened while the transmission is not in Park, the door ajar messages will display on the instrument cluster and chimes will sound.
On certain vehicles equipped with the Roadside Emergency Kit containing a Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the suspect Kidde fire extinguisher with a new Kidde fire extinguisher with a steel nozzle.

On certain vehicles, an improper crimp of a diode in the windshield washer pump may cause the windshield wiper circuit located in the body control module (BCM) to fail. If this occurs, the windshield wipers would become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the defective windshield wiper pump.
A failure of this component (visual system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle may contain an engine control module (ECM) that lacks one of three levels of fault detection software. If a fault occurs causing engine power surging beyond what would be expected for the accelerator pedal position, the software may not detect the fault and may not reduce engine torque. This could allow an unintended acceleration or an increase in engine power output which, depending on the driver's reactions and traffic conditions, could increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ECM with updated software. Note: The driver of the vehicle can override any such event by depressing the clutch and/or the service brake pedals.
