SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Chrysler is recalling
3,663 MY 2007-2008 Dodge
Nitro and MY 2008 Jeep
Liberty vehicles
equipped with manual
transmissions. The park
brake lever clutch drum
may distort and reduce
the effectiveness of the
park brake system. This
could allow the vehicle
to move inadvertently
and cause a crash
without warning. Dealers
will replace the park
brake lever assembly
free of charge. The
parking brakes were
manufactured in Canada.
The recall began on
October 27, 2008.

If the glass separates
while driving, it could
strike another vehicle
or injure a pedestrian.
Dealers will replace the
windshield and/or fixed
rear quarter glass free
of charge. The recall is
expected to begin during
October 2008.

Chrysler recalls nearly
500,000 vehicles
WASHINGTON - March 9,
2007 -- After dozens of
reports of fires in
Dodge Durango and Jeep
Liberty sport utility
vehicles,
DaimlerChrysler AG's
Chrysler Group recalled
nearly 500,000 vehicles
Friday.
The automaker was also recalling 149,605 Jeep Liberty SUVs from the 2006-2007 model years to fix the heating-ventilation-air conditioning blower motor. Chrysler had received a dozen reports of fires from Liberty owners.
There were no crashes or injuries reported in connection to the recalls, Chrysler said.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had opened defect investigations involving the Durango and Liberty.
In the Liberty recall, Gates said the blower motors could fail if the air conditioning is being used on high during hot weather.
Drivers who smell an odor such as overheated plastic should keep their blower motor below the highest setting until they bring their vehicle in for service, Chrysler said. Liberty owners are expected to receive notices about the recall in May.
