2011 DODGE JOURNEY Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Dodge Journey has 6 recalls, with two serious fire risks: a loose engine cover on 2.4L models that can contact the exhaust manifold and ignite, and a power steering pressure hose that can split and spray fluid onto hot engine components. The airbag system carries its own significant concern: a wiring harness inside the steering wheel can chafe and short-circuit, causing the driver's frontal airbag to deploy without a crash, which can startle the driver and cause a collision. On the steering side, there are two hose-related issues. The pressure hose fire risk described above involves a crimp that can separate, while a separate recall covers the return hose, which can rupture after cold-weather exposure and cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, making the wheel much harder to turn at low speeds.
