FCA first learned of problems when it received an email about powertrain control module failures in Latin America. An investigation was opened as the automaker discovered two vehicles had stalled in North America, with those incidents blamed on the modules.
FCA says as of August 2018, at least 151 vehicles have had their powertrain control modules replaced, with 29 of those caused by vehicles stalling while driving. However, Chrysler hasn't received any reports of crashes or injuries related to module failures.
Engineers determined a voltage regulator chip can fail in the powertrain control module circuit board, causing starting or stalling problems.
Chrysler says the module recall is expected to begin September 28, 2018, when dealers will start replacing the powertrain control modules.
Customers with questions should call 800-853-1403 and ask about recall number U87.
