2 min to read


DETROIT — Chrysler Group LLC confirmed it is voluntarily recalling more than 683,000 Jeep Wranglers and minivans worldwide over brake-line and sliding-power-door issues, The Wall Street Journal reported.


The automaker said the recall affects 364,732 of its 2007 through 2010 Jeep Wrangler models. Potentially, brake lines could come in contact with the inner-fender lining, which could reduce braking performance over time, Chrysler said in a statement.

Chrysler is also recalling 318,974 of its 2008-2009 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans because of the potential for interior wiring to come in contact with the sliding power door, which could cause a short circuit leading to a fire.


The company has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the recalls and says it isn't aware of any accidents or injuries related to either issue.


Last week, Chrysler announced it was voluntarily recalling 34,700 Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass vehicles world-wide amid a federal investigation into a potential "sticky accelerator" pedal.


That announcement was posted on the NHTSA Web site on Friday. NHTSA also knew of the Wrangler and minivan recalls on Friday, but that information wasn't posted on the agency's Web site until as late as Monday.


A total of 288,302 Wranglers are being recalled in the U.S.; 28,976 in Canada; 6,438 in Mexico and 41,016 in the company's international markets.
