What's wrong?
The brake booster on 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Durango vehicles helps reduce the effort needed to stop the vehicle. It uses engine vacuum to add force when you press the brake pedal, so the braking system responds without requiring heavy pedal pressure.
For NHTSA campaign 14V154, the problem is the booster center shell. That shell is part of the booster housing, and it is supposed to keep water out of the booster. On affected vehicles, the center shell corrodes. Once corrosion opens a path, water gets inside the booster and interferes with the power-assist function.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices can be a brake pedal that feels harder than normal because the booster is no longer giving full assist.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Water trapped in the brake booster can freeze and limit braking ability, increasing crash risk. If your VIN is included, leave more room to stop and call the dealer for the current repair status. Repair will be free at any franchised Jeep dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee or Durango is included in this recall.
- Watch for your owner notice, then contact a franchised Jeep dealer about the free brake-booster inspection.
- Schedule the water-diverter shield repair that protects the brake booster from water intrusion and corrosion.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. Reference recall number 14V154 and Chrysler recall P14 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
The dealer repair described for this recall starts with a brake booster vacuum test. A Jeep technician checks whether the booster can hold the required vacuum pressure. If it passes, the technician adds a water diverter shield to help keep water out of the booster shell. If the test shows unacceptable vacuum loss, the booster is replaced. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V154?
Recall 14V154 covers 646,498 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Durango vehicles with brake boosters that can corrode and let water inside. If that water freezes, braking ability can be limited and crash risk increases. Dealers inspect the booster, add a water diverter shield, and replace the booster when needed for free.
What should I do if my 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee or Durango is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 14V154. If it is, contact a franchised Jeep dealer and reference recall number 14V154 or Jeep campaign P14. The dealer will inspect the brake booster and complete the free repair.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall filing says repairs will be made free of charge. The dealer adds a water diverter shield after testing the brake booster and replaces the booster if the vacuum test fails.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced braking ability. The brake booster center shell can corrode and let water inside. When that water freezes, the vehicle can lose some braking assist, which increases the risk of a crash. Confirm the VIN and arrange the free dealer repair.
What if I bought this vehicle used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the vehicle, not the first owner. If you never received a letter, check your VIN to confirm whether your Grand Cherokee or Durango is included, then call a franchised Jeep dealer with recall number 14V154 or campaign P14.
