What Happened
The engine cover in your Dodge Journey is a protective panel that shields your engine from heat and debris. In some 2011-2015 models with 2.4L engines, this cover may detach while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine cover comes loose, it could rub against the exhaust manifold and cause a fire, which could spread quickly and put you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will install a reinforced mounting system to keep the engine cover securely in place, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
