Plain-English summary

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 Jeep Wrangler left and right hand drive passenger vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between May 15, 2006, and April 22, 2010.

The recall addresses a potential contact issue between the right and left front inner fender liners and the right front and left rear brake tubes. This contact could cause wear on the tubes, leading to a brake fluid leak. A brake fluid leak can result in a partial loss of service brakes at the affected wheel, which increases the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Owners may contact Chrysler toll-free at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
