| Description of the problem | Radiator made with plastic which leaks at the top where the plastic is crimped to the metal core. This is an inevitable problem on all jeep (chrysler products) made with radiators manufactured using plastic causing leakage before the life expectancy of the radiator is reached. In some cases, coolant is flammable. To my knowledge no recall has been performed. |
