## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2012\-2015 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured April 21, 2012, to April 14, 2015.  In the affected vehicles, water may enter the wiring harness for the Anti\-lock Brake System \(ABS\) module and leak into the module, disabling the ABS and/or the Electronic Stability Control \(ESC\) system.


## What can happen

If the ABS or ESC is disabled, a loss of vehicle stability could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness to prevent water from entering and will replace the ABS module and repair the headlamp and dash wiring harness, as necessary.  These repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began on December 21, 2015.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is R61.
