Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
The other recall covers about 21,000 Ram ProMaster vans from the 2014 model year to inspect and possibly replace several electrical components. Chrysler found several cases of blown fuses in the vans linked to moisture exposure brought into the vehicle on occupants' shoes. It's not aware of any injuries caused by the problem. Dealers will inspect an in-cabin compartment for corrosion to the components, replace parts if necessary and apply a moisture sealant to the area. Of the affected models, 17,700 are in the US, 2,400 are in Canada and 900 are in Mexico.
