Chrysler recalls Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass & minivans
Chrysler, maker of Dodge and Jeep, has announced a recall for the Dodge Caliber and the Jeep Compass, as well as the Chrysler and Dodge minivans.
Chrysler’s first recall is for 34,631 Dodge Caliber and 90 Jeep Compass vehicles from the 2007 model year in order to address a potential issue with sticking gas pedals. The pedals were made by the same supplier as the one for Toyota. No accidents have been reported.
The second recall involves 284,831 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan minivans from 2008 and 2009 model years that “may contain an improperly routed wire harness may have a condition where the sliding door hinge bracket can make contact and wear through the wire insulation.” If the wiring insulation wears down a lot, a short circuit could occur inside the door, overheating the latch and possibly causing a fire.
The dealer will perform repairs free of cost.
