Details

What's wrong: The rear driveshafts may have been incorrectly assembled without grease in the monoblock joint.

Why it matters: A joint without grease may overheat and seize, possibly causing the driveshaft to fracture, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power. If the driveshaft completely separates from the vehicle it may become a road hazard. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Fca us will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge. The recall began October 10, 2019.
