Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with zf all wheel drive ("awd") 8hp45 transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission output shaft may fracture.
Why it matters: The transmission output shaft fracture could result in a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'park'.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmissions, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2014. Customers may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's recall number is n65.
