Undersized door wiring may overheat and melt insulation

NHTSA campaign 14V480000 lists the 2015 Chrysler 200 for a condition in which undersized door wiring may overheat and melt insulation.

NHTSA lists the 2015 Chrysler 200 in safety campaign 14V480000. The official record says: The affected vehicles may have been built with a driver side door wiring harness of an insufficient wire gauge, resulting in excessive heat which may melt the wiring insulation. The stated safety consequence is: Excessive heat and melting wiring insulation may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.

Confirm who pays before authorizing work

A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

What can the data tell you about 2015 Chrysler 200?

No model-specific individual-repair price keys are retained for Chrysler 200 in this library. Generic parts and labor estimates, public records and separate annual cost references may still be available.

Individual-repair price scopeGeneric inputs

Model-level range presence is a source-coverage check. It does not confirm that a repair fits every engine or model year.

EPA configuration matchNo confirmed match

An unmatched specification is an information gap. Do not borrow an engine or drivetrain from another year.

Documented repair pathsCheck the source

Recall and communication counts describe records. They cannot establish a breakdown probability or current VIN status.
