Details
What's wrong: The front lower control arms may be incorrectly welded, potentially resulting in a control arm separation.
Why it matters: If the lower control arm separates, it can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front lower control arms, free of charge. The recall began May 31, 2018.
