Chrysler Recalls Its Ram Trucks

The hottest buzz in the auto world surrounding the two giant automakers, Chrysler and Ford, is that they will be recalling some of their models due to their failure in government standard safety test. The government safety department has some definite set of safety standards, which all the auto makers abide by to make their vehicles government approved for sale. Chrysler and Ford will be recalling around 33,728 and 22,118 of their models running on the streets. While Ford will be recalling its 2010 Transit Connect, Chrysler will be recalling models including 2010 version of Dodge Ram, Dodge Nitro, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Liberty. The reason behind the recall of all the models is the same and it’s the failure in the government safety test.

According to our auto engineers, the Chrysler’s Jeep Liberty, Dodge Nitro, Dodge Ram, and Jeep Wrangler, all have a defaulted hose which takes the breaking fluid, and it can crack anytime and can lose fluid as well. These faulty brake tubes are prone to crack, and can loose the brake fluid to deplete from the system.

In case of Ford’s 2010 Transit Connect vans, the problem is their pushpins that lock the headliner above the B-pillars. These pushpins failed in holding back the liner in the government crash test. But the good thing here is that the manufacturers will be informing the vehicle owners if their vehicle falls in the line up of their recall vehicle. So you don’t have to worry, whether you have a Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Nitro, Ram Truck and Jeep Liberty or if you have a 2010 Ford Transit.

Speaking with the reporters, Ford Officials told that 2010 Ford Transit surpassed the safety limit decided by the government for head injury. The same was the case with the Chrysler’s models as well, and will be taken care of once they come back with their respective dealers. As per the two manufacturers, the defected vehicles were manufactured in between Dec. 5, 2008 to May 31, 2010, and with more than 30,000 Ford Transit and more than 20,000 Chrysler models being recalled, the entire process can be a bit lengthy and somewhat troublesome for the owners. But to somewhat minimize the trouble for the owners, the manufacturers will be notifying the owners whether their model falls under the flawed vehicle lineup or not. At the same time they will be taking car of informing the dealers when they had the modified “brake tube” for Chrysler models and when they’ll have the “headliner retention push pin” for Ford Transit Connect.

The two manufacturers are expected to start recalling their problematic vehicles from next month. So if your vehicle manufacturing date (only for afore mentioned problematic models) matches with the above mentioned date of manufacturing for the defaulted models, may be you could also get a call for recall.
