Steering
These vehicles have improperly machined steering column stub shafts that may break, possibly causing the steering wheel to detach from the steering column. If the steering wheel detaches from the steering column, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of crash.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering column, replacing it, as necessary, free of charge.
