FEBRUARY 2009 --
Chrysler is recalling 92 MY
2009 Sebring and Dodge
Avenger equipped with 2.4L
engine passenger vehicles. A
compatibility issue between
the instrument cluster
software and fuel pump
module can result in the
fuel gauge overstating the
actual fuel tank level. As a
result, the vehicle may run
out of fuel when the gauge
indicates that there is
still fuel remaining in the
tank. This could cause a
crash withoutwarning.
Dealers will replace the
fuel pump module free of
charge. The recall is
expected to begin during
March 2009. Owners may
contact Chrysler at
1-800-853-1403.

SEPTEMBER
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 712 MY 2009
Sebring, Dodge Caliber,
Avenger, Journey, Jeep
Patriot, and Compass
vehicles. A new adhesive
used in the power train
control module (PCM)
manufacturing process
can cause the printed
circuit board to break.
This can cause the
engine to stall and
cause a crash without
warning. Dealers will
replace the PCM free of
charge. The recall is
expected to begin during
November 2008.
APRIL
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 180,963 MY
2007-2008 Sebring and
Dodge Avenger vehicles
equipped with a standard
tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS). Unused
electrical connectors
for the TPMS may become
corroded and could short
circuit, which can cause
a variety of conditions
including engine
no-start, dead battery,
an inoperative cruise
control or remote start
system, and/or engine
stalling. Engine
stalling could cause a
crash without warning.
Dealers will seal the
wires for the TPMS free
of charge. The recall
began on April 15, 2008.

OCTOBER 2007 --
DaimlerChrysler is
recalling 1,158 MY 2008
Dodge Avenger all wheel
drive vehicles. The fuel
tank straps were
improperly manufactured
and could separate. This
can cause the fuel tank
to loosen and leak fuel.
Fuel leakage in the
presence of an ignition
source can result in a
fire. Dealers will
replace the fuel tank
retention straps. The
recall is expected to
begin during October
2007. 07V-426
OCTOBER 2007 --
DaimlerChrysler is
recalling 72,333 MY
2007-2008 Avenger sedan
and Chrysler Sebring
convertible vehicles.
The front door latch
cable may become
partially unseated from
the interior release
handle housing possibly
causing the latch to
stick in the unlatched
position or the lock
function to become
inoperative. Driving a
vehicle with an
unlatched door can
result in an unbelted
front seat occupant
falling out of the
vehicle or being ejected
in a crash, causing
increased risk of
injury. Dealers will add
a secondary retention
feature to both front
doors. This action will
supersede and expand a
previous safety recall
(please see 07V104). The
recall is expected to
begin during October
2007. 07V-414
OCTOBER 2007 --
Chrysler is recalling
102,042 MY 2007-2008
Dodge Avenger and
Chrysler Sebring
vehicles equipped with
2.4 liter engines. The
engine coolant may be
drawn into the left
radiator cooling fan
motor connector. This
can cause an electrical
short circuit and result
in an engine compartment
fire. Dealers will
inspect the connector
for contamination or
damage, install a wiring
harness overlay, and
replace the fan motor.
The recall is expected
to begin during November
2007. 07V-473
