Fuel system, other — Fuel gauge systemCampaign 09V047000 · 04 Feb 2009

Problem: Chrysler is recalling 91 my 2009 sebring and dodge avenger equipped with 2.4l engine passenger vehicles. A compatibility issue between the instrument cluster software and fuel pump module can result in the fuel gauge overstating the actual fuel tank level. As a result, the vehicle may run out of fuel when the gauge indicates that there is still fuel remaining in the tank.

Risk: This could cause a crash without warning.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel pump module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during march 2009. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Power train — Control module (tcm/PCM/tecm)Campaign 08V528000 · 09 Oct 2008

Problem: Chrysler is recalling 712 my 2009 sebring, dodge caliber, avenger, journey, jeep patriot, and compass vehicles. A new adhesive used in the power train control module (pcm) manufacturing process can cause the printed circuit board to break.

Risk: This can cause the engine to stall and cause a crash without warning.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the pcm free of charge. The recall began on november 10, 2008. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
