Business Monday: Do You Recall … ?
In the news this week, aside from GM’s attempt to negotiate with their workers, are a couple of recalls drivers of late-model vehicles need to know about.
Honda’s the first one. They’re recalling almost 200,000 2006 and 07 Civics because the wheel-bearing seal, isn’t. While it doesn’t sound dramatic on first-read, the reality is that this could lead to corrosion that may eventually cause the wheel to separate from the rest of the car. For more information, visit Honda’s website.
Our other recall concerns Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge, which is not only calling back about 300,000 Jeep Commanders and Grand Cherokees from 2006 and 2007, but also 90,000 2007 Jeep Wranglers and 50,000 2007 Dodge Nitros, all for a brake issue that affects uphill driving.
As if that’s not enough, Chrysler’s also announced a recall for a bit more than 72,000 2008 Sebrings and Dodge avengers for faulty latches and locks on the front doors.
Chrysler customers who are affected by the recall can call 800-853-1403 for more information.
If you are considering one of these cars, make sure you get written documentation that the issue has been resolved before you take the car off the lot.
