2010 Dodge Nitro, Ram, Jeep Wrangler & Jeep Liberty recall


Chrysler has found a fault with certain 2010 Dodge Nitro, “Dodge” Ram 1500, Jeep Liberty and Jeep Wrangler models that could hinder braking. An improper flare on a brake tube that connects the master cylinder to the hydraulic control unit is being blamed for the problem. The HCU is part of the anti-lock braking system, and the faulty flare may leak and lead to a loss of brake fluid, which could lead to reduced braking performance and heighten the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will replace the tubes on 22,118 vehicles at its own cost under safety recall starting in August. Concerned owners can also phone in at 800-853-1403. NHTSA is tracking this effort under campaign ID number 10V315000.
