The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles with anti-lock brake system (ABS), the ABS control module software program May cause the rear brakes to lock up during certain braking conditions.
The risk
This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash could occur without warning.
The fix
Dealers will reprogram the ABS control module. The recall is expected to begin on December 12, 2005. Owners May contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
