Dodge Hornet brake pedal can collapse while driving

NHTSA campaign 24V752000 · Reported 2024-10-09 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious: losing your brakes without warning can easily lead to a crash, so schedule this repair as soon as a dealer can take the car.

What's wrong, in plain English

On certain Dodge Hornet SUVs, the arm of the brake pedal can collapse under your foot. If that happens, you lose the ability to slow down or stop the vehicle with the brake pedal. The fix is to reinforce the pedal arm so it cannot give way. Chrysler mailed letters to owners in October 2024. Any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer can do the repair, and it does not cost you anything.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your Hornet is covered. 2. Contact your dealer or FCA Customer Service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall B7B) to book the brake pedal repair. 3. Have the pedal arm reinforced — the work is free.
