Chrysler Group LLC and Volkswagen AG on Wednesday announced recalls of 367,350 minivans and 228,236 cars, respectively, the latest setbacks for auto makers amid a generally improving climate for the industry.

The Chrysler recall affects its 2008 Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans. The vehicles may experience inadvertent airbag deployment and illumination of the airbag warning due to a water leak near the heating and air conditioner drain, reported The Wall Street Journal.

On Tuesday, Chrysler said it is recalling about 76,000 Dodge Ram pickup trucks to fix a power-steering problem that could cause the brake pedals to return slowly after the driver depresses them.

Volkswagen, meanwhile, is recalling Golf, Jetta, New Beetle and Rabbit models with 2.5-liter engines. The action affects the 2007 through 2009 model years of all the vehicles except the Beetle, which is for 2006 through 2010.

The cars could develop a fuel leak, which could result in a fire, because of an improperly located fastening clamp chafing against a fuel supply line, VW said.
