## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2017\-2019 Fiat Spider 124 vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.  Due to incorrect programming of the Transmission Control Module \(TCM\), certain conditions may cause the vehicle to unexpectedly downshift and abruptly decelerate.


## What can happen

If a downshift occurs, the vehicle will suddenly decrease speed, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the TCM software, free of charge.  The recall began March 28, 2019.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is V20.
