## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2009\-2016 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured July 31, 2007, to November 12, 2016.  After exposure to cold temperatures, the power steering return hose may rupture at engine start\-up causing a loss of power steering assist.


## What can happen

A loss of power steering assist may require extra steering effort, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering return hoses, steel tubes, and power steering oil cooler, free of charge.  The recall began on May 24, 2016.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is S08.
