Title: Chrysler to recall 630,000 SUVs worldwide 6/6/13 Post by: Nut44x4 on June 06, 2013, 03:18:01 PM DETROIT – Just two days after refusing a government request to recall 2.7 million older-model Jeeps, Chrysler has decided to do two other recalls totaling 630,000 vehicles worldwide.
The automaker will recall more than 409,000 Jeep Patriot and Compass small SUVs across the globe from the 2010 and 2012 model years to fix air bag and seat-belt problems. It’s also recalling 221,000 Jeep Wranglers worldwide from 2012 and 2013 to fix transmission fluid leaks, according to documents posted Thursday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. In the Patriots and Compasses, a software error could cause late deployment of the side air bags and seat-belt tightening mechanisms, and that could cause injuries in rollover crashes. Dealers will repair the software for free starting in July. For Wranglers with 3.6-liter V-6 engines, Chrysler says a power steering fluid line can wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. The SUVs can leak fluid, damaging automatic transmissions. Dealers will inspect the lines for free and replace them or install a protective sleeve. The recall begins in July. No crashes or injuries have been reported in either case, Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne said Thursday. huge ::monkeyscissors:: ::snipping3:: ::monkeyscissors:: http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Chrysler-to-recall-630000-SUVs-worldwide.html Title: Re: Chrysler to recall 630,000 SUVs worldwide 6/6/13 Post by: Blonde on June 06, 2013, 04:05:11 PM I have a Jeep Liberty that has that gas tank that should be recalled and also a brake recall gezzzz bought it NEW right off the show room ::MonkeyMad::
