What is wrong

What can happen

If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driveshaft, free of charge. The recall began June 27, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U37.
