NHTSA recall 20V183000
Power Train · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: The front differential may have been assembled with pinion gears that are insufficiently hardened, which can lead to the gear teeth wearing down. If both pinion gears have their teeth sufficiently worn off, torque power can not be transferred from the front wheels to the driveline, resulting in loss of power while driving and loss of the park function when stationary.
Why it matters: A sudden loss of power while driving or loss of the transmission park function can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front differential, free of charge. The recall began May 21, 2020.
