What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive and v8 engines. The front driveshaft universal joint may seize or fracture causing the shaft to detach from the vehicle.

Why it matters: If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driveshaft, free of charge. The recall began June 27, 2018.
