Dealer Service Instructions for:

Safety Recall P14 - Brake Booster


Models
2011 - 2014

(WD) Dodge Durango


(WK) Jeep Grand Cherokee

NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles built through September 08, 2013
(MDH 090804).
IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer used vehicle
inventory. Dealers should complete this recall service on these vehicles before
retail delivery. Dealers should also perform this recall on vehicles in for service.
Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

Subject
The brake booster on about 164,900 of the above vehicles may prematurely
corrode. If perforation of the brake booster shell (due to corrosion) occurs, the
brake booster may ingest water during vehicle operation in wet weather conditions.
A brake booster that has experienced water ingestion may have the brake function
compromised if the water inside the brake booster freezes. The driver may be
required to apply additional application force to apply the brakes during
sub-freezing driving conditions. An unexpected additional brake pedal application
force requirement could slow the drivers brake application reaction time and cause
a crash without warning.

Repair
All involved vehicles must have the brake booster inspected for corrosion. Brake
boosters found with excessive corrosion will be replaced. All boosters will be
equipped with a shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water
exposure.

Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner
in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that brake booster replacement is
required and the vehicle must be held overnight.

Due to the small number of involved vehicles expected to require brake booster
replacement, no parts will be distributed initially. Brake booster packages
should be ordered only after inspection determines that repair is required.
Very few vehicles are expected to require brake booster replacement.

Service Procedure
9. Start the engine and allow it to idle for two minutes.

10. Record the vacuum reading with the engine running.

11. Turn off the engine and place the vehicle in the accessory position within 5
seconds and record the vacuum reading.

12. Wait 55 seconds and record the vacuum reading:


If the vacuum reading has not changed by more than 40 millibars (mbars),
the brake booster is good. Continue with Section B. Install Brake Booster
Foam Shield (LHD) or Section C. Install Brake Booster Foam Shield
(RHD).
If the vacuum reading has changed by more than 40 millibars (mbars), the
brake booster is defective. Continue with Section D. Replace Brake
Booster (LHD) or Section E. Replace Brake Booster (RHD).

Vehicle Lists, Global Recall System, VIP and Dealer Follow Up


All involved vehicles have been entered into the DealerCONNECT Global Recall
System (GRS) and Vehicle Information Plus (VIP) for dealer inquiry as needed.
GRS provides involved dealers with an updated VIN list of their incomplete
vehicles. The owners name, address and phone number are listed if known.
Completed vehicles are removed from GRS within several days of repair claim
submission.
To use this system, click on the Service tab and then click on Global Recall
System. Your dealers VIN list for each recall displayed can be sorted by: those
vehicles that were unsold at recall launch, those with a phone number, city, zip
code, or VIN sequence.
Dealers must perform this repair on all unsold vehicles before retail delivery.
Dealers should also use the VIN list to follow up with all owners to schedule
appointments for this repair.
Recall VIN lists may contain confidential, restricted owner name and address information that
was obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles of various states. Use of this information
is permitted for this recall only and is strictly prohibited from all other use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

P14

This notice applies to your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).


This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act.
Dear: (Name)
Chrysler has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in some 2011 through
2014 model year Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles.
The problem is...

The brake booster on your vehicle may prematurely corrode. If perforation of


the brake booster shell (due to corrosion) occurs, the brake booster may ingest
water during vehicle operation in wet weather conditions.
A brake booster that has experienced water ingestion may have the brake
function compromised if the water inside the brake booster freezes. The driver
may be required to apply additional application force to apply the brakes
during sub-freezing driving conditions. An unexpected additional brake pedal
application force requirement could slow the drivers brake application reaction
time and cause a crash without warning.

What your dealer


will do...

Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this,
your dealer will test the brake booster, install a protective brake booster shield and/or
replace the brake booster if required. The work will take about one hour to complete.
However, additional time may be necessary depending on service schedules.

What you must


do to ensure your
safety...

Simply contact your Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge dealer right away to schedule a
service appointment. Please bring this letter with you to your dealer.

If you need
help...

If you have trouble getting your vehicle serviced, please contact the Dealer nearest
your location. A representative will assist you in getting your vehicle serviced. This
information can be found in the Customer Assistance section of your Owners
Manual.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but we are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for
your attention to this important matter.
