2004 Chrysler 300M & 2004 Chrysler Concorde recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, an internal hood LATCH component may have been manufactured with a crack, which could propagate and break, allowing the primary/secondary LATCH spring to disengage.
💥 The risk
This could result in loss of both primary and secondary hood LATCH function, allowing the hood to open without warning. This could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the LATCH assembly. Owner notification began on september 22, 2003. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-992-1997.
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.)
