2000 Chrysler Cirrus & 2000 Dodge Stratus + 1 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles may have been built with an inadequate weld between the right front brake hose block and the stand-off bracket.
💥 The risk
Separation of the stand-off bracket from the block could cause fatigue damage of the right front brake tube and result in a half system brake loss.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will add a brake line bracket to the right front brake tube.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
