FROM BUSINESSWEEK: Chrysler Group LLC recalled almost 35,000 Dodge and Jeep vehicles for accelerator pedals that may become stuck, the company said today.
The pedals in Dodge Calibers and Jeep Compasses for the 2007 model year were made by CTS Corp., the Elkhart, Indiana- based company that supplied similar parts in Toyota Motor Co.’s cars. The recall covers 34,614 Calibers and 90 Compasses, with 73 percent in the U.S., Chrysler said in a statement.
“Under certain conditions the pedal may not immediately return to its idle position,” Chrysler spokesman Nick Cappa said in an e-mailed statement. “Some vehicles have been built with accelerator pedal pivot bushings that may dislodge, causing the pedal to slowly return under limited operating conditions.” MORE»
