Campaign:
08V295000 on 07/07/2008
Component:
Power train:axle hubs
Manufactured:
12/18/2007 - 03/11/2008
Affected:
5,509
Defect:
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 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.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the rear axle hub nuts. the recall began on july 21, 2008. owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Notes:
Chrysler recall no. h23.customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
08V583000 on 11/05/2008
Component:
Power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:column shift
Manufactured:
05/16/2005 - 10/20/2008
Affected:
20,283
Defect:
Chrysler is recalling 20,283 my 2006-2009 charger and magnum vehicles built with the police package and equipped with a column shifter. the gearshift cable may become disengaged from the steering column mounting bracket and cause an incorrect transmission gearshift position display.
Consequence:
This could allow the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction startling the driver, and cause a crash without warning.
Correction:
Dealers will add a redundant locking mechanism to the gearshift cable at the mounting bracket to ensure proper retention and shift linkage function. the recall began on november 10, 2008. owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Notes:

Campaign:
14V567000 on 09/16/2014
Component:
Electrical system:ignition
Manufactured:
05/23/2007 - 05/11/2008
Affected:
292,798
Defect:
Chrysler group llc (chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2008 chrysler 300 vehicles manufactured may 31, 2007, to may 12, 2008, dodge magnum vehicles manufactured may 23, 2007, to may 12, 2008, dodge charger vehicles manufactured may 24, 2007, to may 12, 2008, jeep commander vehicles manufactured april 3, 2007, to may 12, 2008, and jeep grand cherokee vehicles manufactured march 21, 2007, to may 12, 2008. in the affected vehicles, the ignition key (fobik) may not return to the "on" position after being rotated to the "start" position, instead sticking between the two positions. potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the "run" position to the "accessory" or "off" ignition position, turning off the engine.
Consequence:
If the ignition stays between "start" and "on" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. if the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "off" or "accessory" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Correction:
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key fobs, free of charge. the recall began august 19, 2015. owners may contact chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. chrysler's number for this recall is p57.

Consequence:
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Correction:
Chrysler will notify the affected chrysler and dodge owners and mitsubishi will notify the affected raider owners. dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. the recall began for chrylser on june 8, 2015. the recall for mitsubishi started on june 24, 2015. chrysler and dodge owners may contact chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. mitsubishi owners may call 1-888-648-7820. chrysler's number for this recall is r25. note: this recall supersedes recall 14v817 in its entirety. vehicles that have had their driver side frontal air bag replaced previously need to have their air bag replaced under this recall as well.
