Brakes recall - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

bigtsr · 12-23-2006, 10:14 AM

I read in this mornings local news that DCX issued a recall on
62,000 2007 models including the Caliber.
It concerns ESP,ABS and electronic brake distribution system,
it appears it's a software problem and concerns only REARWHEEL
and AWD equipped cars.
I have not experienced any problems with my fwd 2.0L/CVT SXT.
