SUMMARY:
Chrysler is recalling 5,509 M/Y 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 and allow the halfshaft to disengage from the wheel hub.
CONSEQUENCE:
This could cause the vehicle to lose power and result in a crash without warning.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the rear axle hub nuts. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
