Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Charger Recalled
Rear axle could 'disengage'
July 18, 2008
Chrysler is recalling 5,509 2008 Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Charger sedans because of a manufacturing defect that could cause the half-shaft in the rear wheel drive vehicles to "disengage from the wheel-hub," according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
In a brief statement on its Web site, NHTSA advised that the defect could "cause the vehicle to lose power and result in a crash without warning.".
Chrysler dealers will replace the rear axle hub-nuts when the recall begins later this month.
Consumers can contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
