🔥 Fire riskNHTSA 06V149📅 May 3, 2006

2006 Chrysler 300 & 2006 Dodge Charger + 1 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.7 liter engines and MK25E braking systems may exhibit inadequate clearance between the rear brake tubes and the exhaust gas recirculation tube. Contact between the brake tubes and exhaust gas recirculation tube over an extended period of time may cause the brake tubes to wear through and cause a brake fluid leak.

💥 The risk

This CAN result in a decrease of braking force and the potential for an engine compartment fire.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect the rear brake tubes for damage and replace them free of charge. A clip will also be installed to secure the brake tubes to the right front shock tower to maintain proper clearance to the exhaust gas recirculation tube. The recall began on june 26, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

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.)
