IMPORTANT:
This recall only applies to vehicles that had certain Mopar service parts steering components installed.
^ During a prior service appointment, a Mopar service parts steering linkage was installed on about 4,500 of the above vehicles. The drag link inner joint may fracture under certain driving conditions. This could result in a loss of steering control and cause a crash without warning.
Also, the steering damper bracket at the tie rod tube may loosen. This could allow the bracket to slide on the tube and may cause increased vehicle turning radius.
^ To correct this condition, the steering linkage must be inspected and some steering linkage components may need to be replaced.
NOTE:
The initial steering linkage inspection process can be done by the service writer at the dealership (see step 1 of the service procedure). Vehicles found with original style steering linkage can be immediately returned to the customer.
