Fire riskThe fuel tanks in the affected vehicles may have a broken fuel tank control valve which might leak fuel if the vehicle were to become inverted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity." In the event of a rollover crash, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tanks, free of charge.
