What Happened
The power steering system in your Dodge Journey has a hose that helps your steering wheel turn smoothly. In some 2009-2016 models, this hose can burst when it's cold, causing you to lose power steering assist.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hose ruptures, you'll need to use extra effort to steer your vehicle, especially at low speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially on slippery or uneven roads.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will replace the faulty hose and other related components, free of charge. You'll get a notice when the recall starts, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
