2007 Chrysler Aspen & 2007 Dodge Durango recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain vehicles, the right front steering knuckle may have been improperly manufactured. Because of a broken cooling line, parts cast in tool cavity #63 on july 18 and july 19, 2006, may have a cold shut condition and could fracture.
💥 The risk
This could cause a loss of steering control and result in a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the recalled vehicles to identify the defective parts and replace if they are within that lot. The recall began on november 8, 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.)
