What Happened
The rear lower control arm helps connect your rear wheels to the rest of your vehicle. In some 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models, this part might have been made incorrectly, which could cause it to crack.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear lower control arm breaks, your vehicle's ride height could change, and you might lose control of the rear end while driving. This could also affect your brakes, making it harder to stop in time.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will inspect your vehicle's control arms and replace them if necessary, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
