Pressure monitoring and regulating systems

Recall 14V63200010,390 vehicles

Problem: Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured March 20, 2014, to April 22, 2014, and 2014 Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured March 21, 2014, to April 22, 2014. Due to a software error, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Risk: If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the TPMS module, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P63.

The ABS module stopped working. This is causing the brakes to skid, and the tires to spin when turning and wet. My daughter has run off the road one time on a slippery road because the tires were spinning too fast. There are three warning lights on dash - ABS, Skid, BRAKE. There is also a OBD II diagnostic code - C2200

ABS module failure. Common on Jeep Wrangler JK. Could cost $1,500 to repair. Things happen but this is a common occurrence according to forums. Confirmed by reputable licensed mechanic.

My 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has an intermittent ABS system failure. The ABS, red BRAKE, and traction-control warning lights illuminate while driving. A diagnostic scan returned active code C2200, indicating an internal anti-lock brake module fault. The original ABS module is Mopar part number P04779788AF. I inspected and cleaned the electrical connector and checked the wheel-speed readings, which appeared normal. The C2200 code returned active after these checks. When this fault occurs, the ABS and traction-control systems may be disabled, potentially reducing braking stability and vehicle control during emergency braking or slippery road conditions. I have also found reports from other…

Fraudulent Safety Recall Completion Record â Recall V01 (NHTSA Campaign 19V-018) I am filing a complaint against Stellantis (FCA US LLC) and dealership Northwest Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram for fraudulent completion reporting of Safety Recall V01 (Takata Passenger Airbag Inflator Replacement) on a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. Key Facts: 1. Falsified Service Record: Dealer records state Recall V01 was completed on May 25, 2019, by Northwest Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram. The vehicle was NEVER serviced at this dealership, nor was this airbag inflator ever replaced. The defective Takata inflator remains installed in the vehicle. 2. Refusal to Audit: On Oct 5, 2026, Stellantis Case Manager (Case # 98255184)…

2014 Jeep JK with 53,000 miles has a code C2200 abs module internal failure. The ABS module needs to be replaced. Part cannot be located as there is a national backorder. This is a known safety issue with no resolution by Stellantis.

The ABS control module on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK failed approximately four years ago. Since that time, I have been unable to obtain a replacement module through Jeep/Mopar, leaving the vehicle without properly functioning ABS and related electronic stability/traction-control safety systems. I was initially told the replacement part was on backorder and waited for an extended period (August 2022). In January 2026, I contacted my Jeep dealer checking on the status of my quote q96683 from 12/3/25. I was required to prepay $1,342.54 for the replacement module, which I did. It is now September 2026, approximately eight months after I prepaid, and the part still has not been supplied. I have…

Have had this issue since I believe 2020 or 2021. Either way a long time. This issue concerns the ABS control module failure. The warning lights (Brake, ABS and traction control) are lit showing unavailable / issue. The computer is throwing code C2200. The parts to repair are not available. Online forums show this is a big issue within the Jeep Wrangler community. It has been reported that Internally, Jeep has acknowledged the issue by placing new inventory on an "engineering review" hold after admitting that a massive batch of newly manufactured replacement parts had fatal software flaws.

NHTSA defect investigations

Desiccated Air Bag Inflator RuptureOpen
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled…

Seat belt buckle bracket failureClosedLed to recall 19V680000
On July 17, 2019, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE) 19-008 after receiving three Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) reports alleging the driver's side seat belt buckle separated from the seat frame, rendering the seat belt non-functional. The VOQs involved model year (MY) 2015 and 2016 Jeep Wrangler (JK platform) that were configured for right-hand drive (RHD) use. On August 8, 2019, ODI issued an information request (IR) letter to FCA.The scope of the IR included all JK Wrangler produced for sale in the U.S. (both left- and right-hand drive), and amongst other things, requested any reports or allegations of driver's seat belt bracket failures on these vehicles. In its review of FCA's response, ODI determined that approximately 1.7 million JK Wrangler were produced from MY 2007 to 2018, about 16,000 of which were configured for RHD. ODI…

Electrical overstressClosedLed to recall 20V024
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation to determine if the failure of airbags to deploy during severe crashes, in certain vehicles, was the result of a safety related defect.Â During the investigation a complex failure was studied that can result in non-deployment of subject vehicle air bags and other restraint system devices in severe crash events. The subject vehicles may be equipped with an airbag control unit (ACU) for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) manufactured by ZF-TRW. Â The ECU receives signals from crash sensors mounted in the vehicle and deploys the vehicle air bags and seat belt pretensioners in accordance with manufacturer design specifications. Â The ECU in the subject vehicles contains a model DS84 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which controls the communication of the crash sensor signal,…

Totally Integrated Power Module FailureClosed
In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 to evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision. ODI analyzed complaint data provided by CAS as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers. In total, there were 296 complaints submitted by the petitioner in the original petition and five supplements, including 271 complaints related to…
