MAY
2010 --

Charger, Jeep Commander,
Grand Cherokee and Dodge
Ram vehicles. These

OCTOBER 2009
-- Chrysler is recalling
certain model year 2009
through 2010 passenger
vehicles equipped with rear
wheel drive. These vehicles
may have been built without
a front wheel spindle nut.
While driving, a tire and
wheel separation could occur
increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will inspect
the tire and wheel assembly
and if found without a
spindle nut it will be
repaired free of charge. The
recall began on November 2,
2009.

DECEMBER
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 176 MY 2009
Dodge Charger,
Challenger, and Chrysler
300 vehicles. The tire
pressure monitor (TPM)
sensors may not transmit
the actual tire
pressure. This could
result in the driver not
being aware of low tire
pressure. Operation of
the vehicle with low
tire pressure could
result in tire damage
and cause a crash
without warning. Dealers
will replace the TPM
sensors. The recall is
expected to begin during
January 2009.

JULY
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 5,509 MY 2008
300, Dodge Magnum, and
Charger vehicles. The
torque retention crimp
feature was missed
during the manufacture
of one lot of rear axle
hub nuts. This could
cause the nuts to loosen
allowing the halfshaft
to disengage from the
wheel hub. This could
cause the vehicle to
lose power and result in
a crash without warning.
Dealers will replace the
rear axle hub nuts. The
recall is expected to
begin during August
2008. 08V295
