Summary

Chrysler "FCA US LLC" is recalling certain 2017 Dodge Challenger and Charger vehicles equipped with Hellcat engines. The engine oil cooler "EOC" hoses may fail resulting in a rapid loss of engine oil.

Consequence

If an EOC line fails, oil may spray onto the windshield or contact a hot surface, impairing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash or fire.
