Vehicles Affected: Approximately 69,000 model-year 2014-17 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, all equipped with all-wheel drive
The Problem: The front driveshaft bolts may loosen and allow the front driveshaft to disconnect, potentially causing a loss of motive power and increasing the risk of a crash. Dodge and Chrysler manufacturer Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said in a statement that it is unaware of any related injuries or accidents, and that an automaker review of warranty data led to an internal investigation that identified the problem.
The Fix: Dealers will replace all eight front driveshaft bolts for free.
