Car and Driver: Wired Up: FCA Recalls 410,000 Vehicles to Fix Faulty Wiring Harnesses

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is voluntarily recalling a total of 409,866 vehicles sold worldwide due to a wiring harness issue that can lead to stalling in some 2015 Chrysler 200 sedans, 2015 Ram ProMaster City vans, 2015 Jeep Renegade subcompact SUVs, and 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee compact SUVs.

The issue is limited to vehicles built before September 23, 2014 and stems from a poorly crimped wiring harness, which can result in a solenoid fault code. In a written statement, FCA noted that it was unaware of any injuries or fatalities related to the issue; however, it added that the issue can be temporarily resolved by coming to a stop and restarting the engine, should a stall occur.
