Recalled models include certain 2011-2015 Dodge Journeys sold in North America (US, Canada, Mexico) and certain 2011-2015 Fiat Freemont crossovers sold outside of North America. <\/p>\n<p>The anti-lock brake recall affects 565,647 vehicles, including certain 2011-2014 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, Dodge Challenger coupes, Dodge Durango SUVs, and 2012-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering. A defect in the alternators of these vehicles can compromise the anti-lock braking system as well as electronic stability control. Fiat Chrysler has identified two accidents with potential links to the alternator defect. Luckily, no injuriues were reported. <\/p>\n<p>Car dealerships are offering free repairs for recalled vehicles and car owners will be notified directly. <\/p>\n<h2>Defect signs &#038; symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>Drivers affected by the airbag recall might notice illuminated air-bag warning lights, random wiper operation, and switches that don&#8217;t work. Faulty wiring can &#8220;chafe against pieces of steering wheel trim, potentially causing a short-circuit, &#8221; the company said. &#8220;This may lead to a second short-circuit that is potentially capable of generating inadvertant deployment of the driver-side front airbag.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Drivers affected by the alternator defect may see an instrument cluster warning light, smoke, or smell something burning. Car owners who experience any of these occurrences are urged to contact their car dealerships as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Pennsylvania and New Jersey Personal Injury Attorneys<\/h2>\n<p>The Philadelphia personal injury and products liability attorneys at\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/messalaw.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Messa &amp; Associates\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>are experienced at handling cases involving defective products.
