Has your Chrysler been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

Suspension › Front › Wheel bearing

Summary: The involved vehicles may have been assembled with an oversized right front wheel bearing cup which also prevents the plant lubricating equipment from cycling to lubricate both the inner and outer wheel bearings. The resultant bearing looseness and/or the lack of lubrication may cause bearing failure and, possibly, wheel spindle damage.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the inner and outer right front wheel bearings and bearing cups on all involved vehicles at no cost to owners.
