Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Multipla: Brake Fluid May Leak

Recall Summary Fiat Chrysler is recalling 2,278 Multipla vehicles because the handbrake cable may rub against the brake pipe, potentially causing it to wear and leak brake fluid over time. This could result in longer stopping distances. Owners will be contacted to have the handbrake cable routing checked and rubber pads installed on the brake pipe to prevent the problem.
