What is being recalled
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Fiat Spider 124 vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Due to incorrect programming of the Transmission Control Module (TCM), certain conditions may cause the vehicle to unexpectedly downshift and abruptly decelerate.
Why it is dangerous
If a downshift occurs, the vehicle will suddenly decrease speed, increasing the risk of a crash.
