Details
What's wrong: The intermediate steering shaft may not have been properly welded causing a split where the external spline is formed.
Why it matters: If the weld seam splits, the steering wheel may lose center positioning causing a loss of steering responsiveness and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the intermediate steering shaft, free of charge. The recall began June 21, 2018.
