What Happened
The engine cover in your Dodge Journey is a metal shield that protects your engine from heat. In some 2011-2015 models, this cover could come loose and touch the exhaust pipe, which carries hot exhaust gases.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine cover touches the hot exhaust pipe, it could cause a fire in or around your engine. This could lead to serious damage to your vehicle and potentially put you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealership will reinforce the engine cover's mounting system to prevent it from coming loose, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
