Auburn Hills, Mich. – Chrysler Group LLC will conduct a voluntary safety recall of some 2004 – 2005 Jeep® Liberty models that may experience excessive corrosion on the rear lower control arms. This could lead to a weakening of the component and potential fracture resulting in a decrease in rear suspension stability.

“The excessive corrosion is a result of extended exposure to road salt, which is why the campaign is limited to vehicles originally sold or currently registered in salt belt states as defined by the NHSTA,” said David Dillon, Head of Product Investigation and Campaigns, Chrysler Group LLC.

Chrysler Group LLC is not is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

Approximately 267,353 Jeep Liberty models (209,746 U.S. and 24,727 Canada) produced from July 3, 2003 through July 14, 2005 are affected.
