Fiat Chrysler Automobiles issued a recall campaign for two of its SUVs after a possible malfunction with the brakes was revealed during testing.

The recall of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango is related to the left front brake calipers of certain models, which may have been manufactured from a wrong type of iron that’s not as durable as it should.

In the affected vehicles, the left front brake caliper may crack due to being made from an incorrect material. A cracked brake caliper may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash“, wrote the NHTSA in its recall summary and consequence of the problem.

The recall affects 14,768 2015 and 2016 MY units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango manufactured between December 9, 2015, and January 14, 2016. Dealers will inspect them and, if necessary, the brake caliper will be replaced, free of charge. Owners will be contacted by the manufacturer and an appointment will have to be made with the local Jeep/Dodge dealer.
