ssbtech Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ford Chrysler recalls 2.9 million Pintos Jeeps for gas tank fires After initially defying U.S. federal regulators, Chrysler abruptly agreed Tuesday to recall some older-model Jeeps with fuel tanks that could rupture and cause fires in rear-end collisions. But the recall, which came in an 11th-hour deal between the automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, covers only 1.56 million of the 2.7 million Jeeps that the U.S. government wanted repaired. The rest are part of a "customer service action" and many may not get fixed. Chrysler Canada will conduct a voluntary recall of the same model years. A total of 256,000 vehicles are affected by the recall in Canada.

Gire Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ah.... that FIAT quality is already starting to shine through. Older Jeeps... but I agree with you on the newer product too. Earlier this month, the automaker publicly refused the government's request to recall Jeep Grand Cherokees from model years 1993 through 2004 and Jeep Libertys from 2002 through 2007.
