Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall R38 Rear Suspension Lower Control Arms
NOTE: All of the involved vehicles in this recall were also involved in Safety Recall R33. Due to a change in the build date ranges of the lower control arms, a second inspection of most of the vehicles that were involved in Safety Recall R33 is required.
Models
| 2015 | (WD) | Dodge Durango |
| (WK) | Jeep® Grand Cherokee |
NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from June 12, 2015 through June 20, 2015 (MDH 061207 through 062015).
IMPORTANT: Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
| IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory andshould perform this recall on vehicles in for service.

Subject
The rear suspension lower control arms on about 5,600 of the above vehicles may have been incorrectly heat treated during the manufacturing process. This could cause the rear suspension lower control arm to break. A broken rear suspension lower control arm(s), during certain driving conditions, could cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash without warning.
Repair
The build date code on both rear suspension lower control arms must be inspected. Lower control arms found within a certain build date range must be replaced.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that the rear suspension control arm(s) replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.
