NHTSA recall 16V273000
Steering · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: After exposure to cold temperatures, the power steering return hose may rupture at engine start-up causing a loss of power steering assist.
Why it matters: A loss of power steering assist may require extra steering effort, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering return hoses, steel tubes, and power steering oil cooler, free of charge. The recall began on May 24, 2016.
