June 8 (Reuters) - Chrysler is recalling more than

211,000 vehicles in the United States due to a software

malfunction that could disable the electronic stability control

system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) said on Saturday.

Due to the malfunction, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

control module may disable the electronic stability control

system, the regulator said.

"Driving with a disabled electronic stability control

system can increase the risk of a crash," it said.

The recall would affect certain 2022 Dodge Durango and Ram

2500 and 3500 vehicles made by Stellantis ( STLA )-owned

Chrysler, NHTSA said.

Dealers will update the control module software free of

charge, NHTSA said.
