Chrysler Group has just announced a pair of recalls in Canada, one on six 2013 Dodge Dart sedans and another on 2,431 Ram 1500 pickup trucks. In both cases, the braking system is affected.

On certain Dart units, incorrect rear brake callipers may have been installed at the assembly plant. As a result, the parking brake may not function. Dealers will therefore inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear brake callipers.

As for the Ram 1500, the parking brake equalizer may have been adjusted incorrectly at the assembly plant, which could reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, re-adjust the parking brake equalizer.
