Hello from Europe,
My Freemont is affected by this recall - I only found out by checking the Mopar site. I have asked FCA when the recall will be carried out in Europe to be told that while it does affect my vehicle no plans for a recall are available outside of N. American markets.
Either a) FCA reckons we Europeans don't need ABS anyway or b) they give less of a toss about their European customers (probably because we are less likely to sue).
Either way, I'm pissed.
I accept the likelihood of failure is low but nonetheless losing any braking ability on a 2.2 ton vehicle is less than cool.
What's more annoying is that the safety recall was first published in October and I bought the car in November (I only found the safety recall later - as I didn't check first because I sort of assumed that you wouldn't sell a car with a known manufacturer fault - at least without notifying the customer!)
I have tried to get any sort of reply from FCA Poland as to when they will resolve this problem - with side questions as to why they care less about us Europeans than N Americans, to no avail - to the point where I am already escalating it. Does anyone have any Points of Contact who might be able to help me find out the answers?

Thanks Bramfrank. Hopefully the RHD units I will buy will have the internal mechanics so I can recoup some of the cost by selling the originals.
Thanks for your help.

My understanding from the 2014/15 English, Polish and German manuals is that it changes the beam pattern - dip to the left vs dip to the right. In truth (if it exists) it probably just flattens the beam dispersion pattern - though this is enough to allow the car to be registered in the UK without having to buy whole new units.
On that DRL thread there is lots of talk of sales codes... I wonder, has anyone ever seen a code for this feature?

Ha ha, well we didn't all get bailed out by the French!
We still use imperial units in the UK too - mph / mpg etc. - that would normally be another problem with buying the car in Europe but fortunately because of its DJ heritage the Freemont has Imperial units too.
Does anyone on here (NA, Aus, or European) have the option on their 8.4 UConnect System?

Hello Forum,
NOOB here.
I am looking at buying a Fiat Freemont (wolf in sheep clothing ) 2014 model. I'm in the British Army, stationed in Eastern Europe. We Brits still drive on the Left but I have got a good price for a Polish Freemont. In all of the manuals, in Polish, English, German etc.. it says that with the 8.4 UConnect System I should have an option to enable Headlight Dip (Traffic Changeover) for driving on the wrong/right side of the road.
The dealership here in Poland has tried to be helpful, but he is as confused as me as to why the option doesn't appear on the UConnect system on the car I am looking to buy - top specification - should have all options fitted and enabled. He has managed to find a solution by offering to sell me complete RHD Light Units, as fitted to Australian DJs and Freemonts for a mere 600 GBP!?
This seems a little steep if there is an option that just needs to be switched on. I read, with interest, the DRL thread and wonder if anyone has had any experience of this option on their DJs or Freemonts, or whether there is something I can do to get it switched on?
Thanks for your time and patience in advance.
