The 1999 Dodge Stratus has two recalls, the more serious affecting 2.4-liter models where the high-pressure power steering hose can degrade and leak fluid onto hot engine components, creating a risk of an underhood fire.
The second recall involves the right rear brake tube, which can rub against an exhaust clamp and wear through. If the tube develops a hole and leaks brake fluid, half of the braking system loses pressure, extending stopping distances.
