Customer Satisfaction Notice: # RC-F35-06
Models: 2006 LX Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Charger
Subject: The engines in about 14,000 of the above vehicles may have been assembled with sand-like debris on the number two connecting rod bearing journal of the crankshaft. This can cause excessive rod bearing wear and result in engine failure.
Repair: The number two connecting rod bearing and crankshaft journal must be inspected. If either the connecting rod bearing or crankshaft journal is damaged, a long block engine must be installed.
Alternate Transportation: Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that engine replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.
