CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION NORTH AMERICA Control Module Software Updates FCA US LLC Reference: Y40 2017 – 2021 (RU) Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) equipped with a 3.6L hybrid engine (sales code EH3) 2019 – 2021 (JL) Jeep Wrangler equipped with a 3.6L eTorque engine (sales code ERG) 2018 – 2021 (JL) Jeep Wrangler equipped with a 2.0L engine (sales code EC3) 2019 – 2021 (DT) Ram 1500 Pickup equipped with a 3.6L eTorque engine (sales code ERG) Template Version 1.8 Revision 1 Edition January 2024 Detail Revision 1 SYMPTOM DESCRIPTION The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software calibration on about 287,665 of the above vehicles may fail to properly monitor certain emission-related diagnostic functions as required by California and Federal regulations. In addition, the Power Inverter Module (PIM) diagnostics allow for correct malfunction detection but prevents natural fault healing after repair actions. This issue prevents the clearing of permanent fault codes (PFC)s in the PIM which is required by regulation. This update will also address Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)s and PFCs (P0010, P0013, P0020, P2135, P0121, P0221) that do not heal on the 2020 model year (RU) PHEV as well as a POC4A that will not set unless communication fault U0624 is present on the 2021 model year (RU) PHEV. NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this campaign and therefore have been excluded from this campaign. IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Dealers should complete this campaign service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also perform this repair on vehicles in used vehicle inventory and those vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software calibration on your vehicle may fail to properly monitor certain emission-related diagnostic functions as required by California and Federal regulations.

FCA US will repair your vehicle free of charge (software update and labor). To do this, your dealer will update the PCM and PIM software. The estimated repair time is about 30 minutes. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and checkout during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
