NEWS:
Chrysler to recall
24,177 vehicles on brake
issue
(Yahoo
News) –-Jan 19, 2010 --
Chrysler Group LLC will
recall 24,177 vehicles
due to a potential
defect in a brake system
that could result in
sudden brake failure,
the automaker said in a
filing with the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
The recall applies to
2010 model-year Chrysler
Sebring, Dodge Avenger
and Nitro, and Jeep
Liberty, Commander and
Grand Cherokee SUVs, as
well as 2009-2010 model
year Dodge Ram trucks.
In some of the vehicles,
the clip retention tab
on the brake pedal pin
was improperly formed,
or not installed, during
the manufacturing
process, Chrysler said.
That could result in
brake failure without
warning and could cause
a crash, the company
said. Chrysler said it
was unaware of any
accidents or injuries
related to the issue.
Chrysler said the safety
recall is expected to
begin during the month
of January.

MARCH 2009 --
Chrysler is
recalling 507 MY 2009 Dodge
Ram 2500/3500 pickup trucks
heavy duty cab chassis with
manual transmission and
power adjustable pedal
package. The clutch pedal
connecting rod to the clutch
master cylinder may separate
from the master cylinder.
This may not allow
disengagement of the clutch
when the pedal is depressed,
which could result in
unintended vehicle movement.
Increased stopping distance
and engine stalling may
occur increasing the risk of
a crash. Dealers will
replace the clutch master
cylinder hydraulic system
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin during
April 2009 Owners may
contact Chrysler at
1-800-853-1403.

JANUARY 2009 --
Chrysler is recalling 32,865
MY 2008-2009 Dodge Ram 2500,
3500 and 3500 cab chassis
pickup trucks equipped with
Powers and Sons steering
linkage. The steering
linkage drag link inner tie
rod to pitman arm ball stud
may fracture. Also the
steering linkage damper
attaching the bracket may
yield and shift on the
linkage. This could result
in a loss of steering
control and the restricted
ability to turn the vehicle
in one direction increasing
the risk of a crash without
warning. Dealers will
replace the steering linkage
drag link inner tie rod end
assembly, and inspect the
steering linkage damper
bracket free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin
on or before February 16,
2009. Owners may contact
Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

OCTOBER 2007 --
Chrysler is
recalling 564 MY
2007 Dodge Ram 3500
cab/chassis pickup
trucks equipped with
an optional 23
gallon fuel tank.
The fuel tank straps
were improperly
manufactured and
could separate. This
can cause the fuel
tank to loosen and
leak fuel. Fuel
leakage in the
presence of an
ignition source can
result in an
underbody fire.
Dealers will replace
the fuel tank
retention straps and
fasteners. The
recall is expected
to begin during
November 2007.
