Details

What's wrong: The front axle halfshafts may have been incorrectly assembled, preventing the shaft from being properly secured to the constant-velocity (cv) joint.

Why it matters: If the axle shaft disengages from the cv joint, the vehicle will have a loss of drive or allow the vehicle to move while in the "park" position. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right halfshaft assembly, free of charge. The recall began September 18, 2018.
