More Than 102,000 Dodge Avengers & Chrysler Sebrings Recalled

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 which can cause an electrical short circuit resulting in an engine compartment fire. Chrysler 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 in the forthcoming weeks.

Chrysler LLC Recalling 72,333 MY 2007-2008 Avenger and Sebring Convertibles

Chrysler LLC will mail 72,333 letters to owners of 2007-2008 Dodge Avenger Sedan and Chrysler Sebring Convertible models this month as the front door latch cable on both cars may become partially unseated possibly causing the latch to stick in the unlatched position or the lock function to become inoperative. Chrysler dealers will add a secondary retention feature to both front doors. Additionally, Chrysler LLC said it will recall 1,158 MY 2008 Dodge Avenger all wheel drive (AWD) vehicles as the fuel tank straps were improperly manufactured and could separate causing the fuel tank to loosen and spill. Dealers will replace the fuel tank retention straps.
