(Reuters) – Stellantis-owned Chrysler is recalling about 1.2 million vehicles in the United States over a software malfunction in the anti-lock braking system that may increase the risk of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Saturday.
The 1,227,808 vehicles recalled by Stellantis (NYSE:) include certain 2019, 2021-2024 Ram 1500 vehicles, the regulator said.
“Due to a software malfunction, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module may disable the electronic stability control system,” NHTSA said in a statement.
Dealers were told to update the anti-lock brake system control module software as a fix.
In a separate statement, the auto regulator said Stellantis is also recalling 32,863 Jeep Gladiator vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2024, and Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured between 2018 and 2024 because the vehicles’ instrument cluster may experience an internal short circuit.
