Chrysler recalls 24,000 due to brakes

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Auto-maker Chrysler is recalling about 24,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles due to defective brakes that may cause them to suddenly fail.

The recall includes some 2010 Chrysler Sebrings, Dodge Avengers and Nitros, Jeep Libertys, Commanders, and Grand Cherokees, and 2009 and 2010 Rams.

The affected vehicles may have a defective piece that is essential to the brakes functioning properly. It is called a brake booster rod retaining clip. Some Dodge Rams may have been built entirely without this piece.

Chrysler does not think these models have induced crashes or injuries.

If you have one of these vehicles, contact either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-0327-4236, or Chrysler at 800-853-1403.
