The problem

If the transmission weld fails, the vehicle will stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U85.
