Chrysler Corporation Recalls Dodge DurangoAUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 26 -- Chrysler Corporation will notify 25,000 owners of a voluntary safety recall involving 1998 Dodge Durangos, for a potentially loose wiring connection. The vehicles were built from launch in early September through mid-January 1998. At no cost to owners, Chrysler will inspect and tighten if necessary a wiring harness connection in the engine compartment. Actual inspection and corrective action will take less than five minutes. The loose wire could create extreme heat on the plastic casing of the connection, potentially resulting in the melting of the wiring harness and a possible fire. Chrysler has investigated four incidents, there are no reports of accidents or injuries. "Our intent was to respond quickly and decisively to this issue and offer our customers peace of mind," said Sue Cischke, Executive Director - Vehicle Safety Affairs. SOURCE Chrysler Corporation
