How many times can a good vehicle be recalled? The latest news about 2009 Dodge Ram recall due to steering problems have been revealed just a few days ago, and now Chrysler has to recall the pick-ups for the third time. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that windshield wiper system can fail and needs to be replaced.
According to the report from NHTSA windshield wiper system "may be susceptible to water intrusion that could result in partial or complete loss of windshield wiping capability. When the wiper system fails, the operator will have reduced visibility, which could result in a crash."
If you are an owner of one of 72,136 2008-09 Dodge Ram trucks, go to Chrysler dealership and ask for wiper system replacement. They will make a check-up and replace it for free. The date of the recall launch has not been announced yet, but customers can contact Chrysler at (800) 853-1403.
The only question that arises in the heads of the pick-up owners is, whether they should go to dealerships ten times for various recalls, or they could just wait till all the flaws of the vehicles are announced and fix them all at one visit?
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is requesting a recall of seven different Chrysler models made in 2009-2010 because they might have a defect that results in “brake failure without warning”. Totally the recall involves 24,177 vehicles. They are 2009-2010 Dodge Ram, 2010 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Nitro, Jeep Commander, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Liberty.
Subaru did a bad job with its last vehicles. After the tests made by NHTSA the Japanese auto maker has to recall 16,715 autos for double check and fixing.
Sometimes you read a story about a vehicle recall and understand that the situation described by the NHTSA is almost impossible: a screw from some unimportant spot might become loose, might fall out and might cause a problem... Well, this time it is about brakes and it is serious.
The year 2010 is not here yet, but the manufacturers already start recalling vehicles marked as 2010 models. Here is one of them: Mitsubishi is requested to recall 531 of 2010 Endeavor for airbag problem.
Sometimes having great sales and producing autos too quickly might turn against the car manufacturer. This is what happened to Toyota which has to recall nearly 700,000 cars in China because of such minor problem as a faulty window switch.
