Chrysler recalls 700,000 vehicles, 33,000 in Canada

PEM >> 
Chrysler Group announced it was to recall around 700,000 vehicles involving five models worldwide, U.S. safety regulators said on Monday. Chrysler Canada is recalling 29,000 Jeep Wranglers with 2007 to 2010 model years and 4,000 minivans in Canada over safety concerns, according to CBC News.

Doors that could catch fire, brakes that could fail and accelerators that could stick have prompted the recall. It has been quite a year for automakes, with Toyota facing several well-publisized recalls around the New Year.

Chrysler informed the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the potential safety issues last week.

Regardign the affected Canadian models, the Jeep Wranglers are being recalled due to a potential brake fluid leak. According to a statement from Chrysler, Wrangler brake lines could rub against the inner-fender well lining, leading to fluid loss that affects braking performance.

In the 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans a wiring harness could rub against the power-sliding side door causing a short circuit that leads over overheating of the door latch, and in some cases fire.

Chrysler says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the defects.
