Fire risk

In the affected vehicles, water may enter the Power Liftgate Control Module and cause a high resistance short circuit in the module. A short circuit in the liftgate control module may result in a fire.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power liftgate control module and connectors for corrosion, substitute a bolt for the threaded grommet installed to seal an attachment point used in non-power liftgate vehicles and cover the power liftgate control module in a foam water shield, free of charge.
