Jeep Recall

6/22/2013

0 Comments

 
51 people have died in fiery crashes in Jeeps with gas tanks positioned behind the rear axle, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

Chrysler refused to recall 1993 - 2004 Grand Cherokees and 2002 - 2007 Libertys, but now says it will have dealers inspect the vehicles and install trailer hitches to protect the gas tanks.  Vehicles without hitches will get them, as will those with broken hitches or hitches that aren't from Chrysler.

Chrysler will begin notifying owners of the vehicles in about a month.
