What is being recalled
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured August 19, 2015 to August 27, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the bolts that attach the hood striker may loosen and, as a result, the hood may open unexpectedly while driving.
Why it is dangerous
If the hood opens while driving, the driver's vision may be obstructed, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install new hood striker bolts with the proper torque, free of charge. The recall began on October 22, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler's customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's recall number is R53.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 15V-595 when calling a dealer.
