What is wrong

The risk

This could allow unintended movement of the vehicle under certain conditions and cause a crash without warning.

The fix

Dealers will replace the rear wheel hub mounting bolts and repair the park brake free of charge. The recall began on may 8, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-[removed].
