Description of the problem	So - i've got a 2013 500e and it started doing this last week or so. The rbc, the esc, the abs, and even the hill assist transiently, and once or twice even went into 'propulsion system service' error mode and wouldn't run. After a re-start it would then run. Even did the battery trick. Not sure if it helped or not. So, i decided to do the obd2 - with the konnwei and the alfobd - full program - and it was able to clear the codes and pull up the errors : u0001, u1201, u1487 - and even though it recurs and i feel a click and change in braking when the rbc light goes off, and the esc light, and eventually the abs light too, and it starts making funny noises from the brakes when stopped and pressed deeply, but i'm able to clear it and goes back to normal. But it always recurs. Once it went away for 2 days. Anyway - found a tsb on this : number 08-045-16 - from april 22, 2016. And describes pretty much all this and the codes. Apparently the rbc, and abs modules need reflash by the dealer - or someone with the witech software and interface. Here's a link to the pdf itself: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2016/sb-10076281-3639. Pdf - my main problem is my local dealer in tucson does not have 500e certification nor a tech to service the 500e. I'd have to drive 100 miles or so up to phoenix to get it done. So i would need to haul it up there. This sucks. Called the fca support line, they say there's nothing they can do, i have to get it there.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
