SUMMARY:
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 Dodge Charger police vehicles. The low beam headlamps of some vehicles could fail due to an overheated bulb harness connector. Other vehicles may lose ABS/ESC system function due to an overheated power distribution center.

This could lead to loss of visibility and/or braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will replace the headlamp jumper harnesses and relocate the ABS/ESC system fuse within the power distribution center, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2012. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
