What's wrong, in plain English

Jeep put a label on these vehicles that's supposed to list the correct tire and rim size, but that information was left off during manufacturing. Without it, someone could end up installing the wrong size tire and rim combination on the vehicle, which doesn't meet federal tire and rim safety labeling rules.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to get your corrected certification label.
3. The label replacement is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 17V543000.
