There’s rust in my 300 radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Chrysler 300 can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator.

To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.

When Does My 2021 Chrysler 300 Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Chrysler 300 radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2021 Chrysler 300 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. Chrysler recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
