Control arms, steering hose, tank and wipers on the Voyager RGKnown weak points

Engine / equipment: Chrysler Voyager and Grand Voyager RG (Town & Country in the US)
Period mentioned: 2001–2007
Symptoms: A lower control-arm pivot bolt that can break and release the arm (2001); a tank-valve weld that can leak fuel (2002); a steering cooler hose that splits on the 3.3 and 3.8 V6, with a fire risk (2002–2004); air-conditioning water dripping onto the radio and shorting it (2001–2002); the power-liftgate latch (2003); a wiper-motor shaft that breaks (2005–2006); airbag sensors corroding where roads are salted (2005–2006).
Possible cause described: Defects documented by US recalls; European cars may have equivalent campaigns: check by VIN.
Check for the garage: Check campaigns by VIN; check the front suspension and steering-fluid leaks.

Engines: 2.5 / 2.8 CRD (Diesel)

Applies if: Only the 2.8 CRD.

EGR, turbo and timing belt on the 2.8 CRD (VM Motori)Engine

Engine / equipment: 2.8 CRD by VM Motori: Jeep Cherokee, Wrangler, Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Nitro and Lancia Voyager
Period mentioned: 2001–2018
Symptoms: Hesitation, smoke and loss of power from the EGR or particulate filter; a failing turbo or intercooler; if the timing belt breaks, serious damage (interference engine).
Possible cause described: The block is considered robust: problems usually come from the ancillaries (turbo, intercooler and emissions equipment, especially the EGR valve). Owners point out that the timing belt is expensive and must be changed on time (about 160,000 km).
Check for the garage: Check when the belt was changed; read the EGR and filter codes; check the turbo and intercooler pipes.
