What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS

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.

How to Get This Fixed

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.
