Statement – Expansion of MY2006-2007 Jeep® Liberty Recall
Auburn Hills, Mich. – Chrysler Group will recall 137,176 model-year 2006 and 2007 Jeep® Liberty SUVs in U.S. regions where salt is used to melt roadway ice and snow. The vehicles’ rear lower control arms can sustain excessive corrosion from long-term road-salt exposure. Excessive corrosion can lead to breakage, which could adversely affect rear suspension stability. Chrysler Group is unaware of any associated accidents or injuries. Chrysler Group will inspect and, if necessary, replace the vehicles’ rear lower control arms at no charge to customers. This action supplements a Liberty recall involving model years 2004 and 2005.
