Chrysler recalls 438,000 Jeep Libertys

November 10, 2003
Chrysler is recalling about 438,000 Jeep Liberty SUVs because of problems in the front suspension. The company says it received 47 complaints about the problem. Some consumers said they lost control of the vehicle and crashed. Others said a wheel fell off.

Chrysler says the problem stems from the lower ball joint seal, which can become damaged and lead to a loss of control.

The incidents reported so far did not result in any injuries, the company said.

As part of the worldwide recall, all of the vehicles will be fitted with a heat shield. About 318,000 will receive new ball joints, and 120,000 vehicles will be inspected.

The recall includes Jeep Libertys from the 2002 model year, as well as 2003 models built before the end of March this year.

In addition, Chrysler is recalling 10,000 of its new Chrysler Pacifica wagons to install a secondary clip to the fuel line to keep it secure.
