💥 The risk
A failure of the bearing could cause the vehicle to stall increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Chrysler will notify owners and will install an oil port insert into the rear axle free of charge. The safety recall began on april 4, 2011. Owners may contact chrysler 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.)
