An intermittent loss of contact can result in a vehicle stall and/or a partial or complete loss of air bags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and/or instrument panel cluster. Loss of functionality with any of these safety systems can increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
To repair the defect, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) dealers will replace the ignition switch contact holder block, free of charge. However, the parts required for the repair are not available yet.
