FCA US is recalling an estimated 323,361 2015 model-year Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee vehicles in the U.S. to update software and replace wire harnesses as needed, the automaker said.
“An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness,” FCA US said in a released statement. “Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss.”

The company, however, noted it’s unaware of any related injuries or accidents.
Most of these recalled vehicles will never experience this fault code over their lifetimes, FCA US said. But if the condition does occur, the driver can temporarily resolve the problem by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine.
“Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices,” the company said.
A change made in the harness manufacturing process eliminated the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014.
In addition to the vehicles recalled in the U.S., an estimated 35,511 vehicles will be recalled in Canada for the same issue. Further, 7,067 will be recalled in Mexico and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region.

Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
