SAFETY RECALL G15 - REAR WHEEL HUB MOUNTING BOLTS
MODELS:
2007(MK) Jeep(R) Compass and Patriot
2007(PM) Dodge Caliber
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes (sales code BRF or BR1) built from November 29, 2006 through March 15, 2007 (MDH 11-29-10 through 03-15-07).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
^ The length of the rear wheel hub mounting bolts on about 90 of the above vehicles may prevent actuation of the park brake. This could allow unintended movement of the vehicle under certain conditions and cause a crash without warning. As a result, these vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 135 - Light Vehicle Brake Systems.
^ To correct this condition, the rear wheel hub mounting bolts on both rear wheels must be replaced. The brake cable equalizer for the park brake must also be replaced.
