Recall Alert: 2007-08 Jeep Wrangler
Nov 16 2009 by Jennifer Newman
Chrysler has issued a recall for 161,450 Jeep Wranglers from the 2007-08 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The vehicles affected by the recall were manufactured from June 2006-July 2008 and are equipped with an automatic transmission.
These vehicles weren’t equipped with a transmission fluid temperature warning system. Without this system, transmission fluid could boil over and come into contact with a hot engine or exhaust component, which could cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect and install a “hot oil” message in the instrument cluster and a chime indicating an elevated transmission fluid condition. This recall is expected to begin in December.
For more information, owners can call Chrysler at 800-853-1403 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
Recall Alert: 2008-09 Mitsubishi Lancer and Lancer Evolution
Mitsubishi is recalling 29,353 Lancers and Lancer Evolutions from the 2008-09 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration.
In areas where road salt is used in the winter, long-term exposure to a mixture of melted snow and salt may cause it to adhere to the car’s front-impact sensors. This recall affects vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
This water-salt coating may cause corrosion on the sensor. In a crash that would deploy the airbags, this type of short circuit may cause a delay in the airbag deployment, which would result in injuries to the driver or passenger.
Dealers will install new front-airbag sensors that have improved corrosion resistance for free. This recall is expected to begin by Nov. 27.
For more information, owners can call Mitsubishi at 714-372-6000 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
Recall Alert: 2007 Dodge Nitro
Chrysler is recalling 84,680 Dodge Nitros from the 2007 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
High usage of the windshield wiper system’s delay mode may affect the primary wiper function and render the wiper system inoperable. In inclement weather, this problem would impair visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and add external relays as well as update the totally integrated power module software to control the wiper functions.
For more information, owners can call Chrysler at 800-853-1403 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
Too bad! But I am glad that they are able to debug that error. i just hope that nobody yet had experienced the possible negative outcome. Anyway, would it possible to resume with the same set-up only with an improved exhaust pipe?
