## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles.  Water may leak into the body control module and its connectors, causing corrosion.  This corrosion can cause illumination of one or more malfunction indicator lamps, a loss of windshield wiper function, a loss of exterior lighting, a loss of horn function and/or unintended turn signal activation.


## What can happen

Electrical malfunctions such as windshield wipers that may not work in the rain and lights that may not work at night increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install additional sealing protection to prevent water from entering the body control module and its connectors.  The recall began on April 25, 2018.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is U36.
