According to the report issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a remedy is under development. Owner notifications letters are expected to be mailed out June 25, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available.

Chrysler is aware of at least 9 customer assistance records, 387 warranty claims, 5 field reports, and 16 other service records potentially relating to the issue ranging from January 9, 2020 to March 19, 2026.
