What Happened
The power steering hose in your Wrangler is a flexible tube that helps your vehicle turn smoothly. It might have a weak spot that could wear out and leak transmission fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the power steering hose leaks, your transmission could lose fluid, making it harder to shift gears. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially if you're driving on a steep hill or at high speeds.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will replace the power steering hose with a new, safer one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice and have it done to ensure your safety.
