The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Risk and remedy

If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.
The zinc plating operation performed on the upper steering column shaft coupling bolt caused hydrogen embrittlement and breakage of the bolt.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fractures of the upper steering column shaft couplingbolt result in a lack of coupling load on the shaft and loss of steeringcontrol.
Remedy
Replace the zinc plated bolt with a phosphate plated bolt.

The brake motor makes a noise, the pedal IS hard. When I took it to the dealership because there IS a lifetime warranty on replacing the brake actuator piston assemblyand the pump motor, I was told it was not these parts but the accumulator which needed replaced. the car IS unsafe to drive and will go out at any given time. I feel since the dealership " mcloughlin chrysler jeep" service writers are on "ommission" and not hourly wages, that they are telling me I have to spend over $600 to replace a part that should be covered on this safety recall. the dealership IS trying to make money off me instead of fixing the part that IS out on my car. *tr
