Recall K15 (2010 Nitro)

I read that it affects only vehicles made in April and May of this year.(2010) But I could be wrong... Call your dealer to be safe.

Chrysler Group LLC is starting a safety recall involving more than 26,000 2010 model Dodge Nitro, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Liberty and Ram 1500 vehicles for a bad brake line connection from the master cylinder to the hydraulic control unit (HCU).
Some vehicles may have been built with a brake tube with an improperly formed flare that could leak fluid and lead to reduced braking performance.

The safety recall is expected to begin during August 2010. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 about Safety Recall No. K15 or go to http://www.safercar.gov. NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 10V315000
