All eight bolts on the front driveshaft will be replaced by the manufacturer.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued another recall. This time, it affects certain Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300 cars with all-wheel drive. This safety campaign is related to front driveshaft bolts which may become loose and cause the driveshaft to come off. According to the NHTSA, this could lead to a loss in motive power that can be dangerous. This fault has not been linked to any injuries or accidents.
FCA has had a relatively trouble-free year despite the recall. The only major recall since 2017 was for 43,071 Dodge Journeys and Jeep Compasses. These cars required new crankshaft sensor connectors. Two major recalls by FCA last year affected millions of vehicles. In April 2016, FCA had to recall 1.1 million cars because of a monostable shifter that was used in the ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic gearbox. This could have caused confusion for owners. Maserati joined in the campaign shortly thereafter with 13,000 additional cars equipped with the same shifter and gearbox.
A few months later, FCA launched a campaign to repair nearly 1.9 million cars in the world for defective seatbelt pretensioners and airbags
