The defect
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Dodge Durango vehicles. The vehicles may have been assembled with rear axle halfshafts that are too short.
The risk
If a halfshaft is too short, it may disengage from the differential causing a loss of drive and increasing the risk of a crash.
