(NewsCore) - Chrysler Group is recalling more than 26,000 new vehicles over concerns that power steering fluid could leak and start an engine fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Wednesday.
The recall affects about 19,000 of its 2010 vehicles -- including Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Avenger and Dodge Journey makes. It also covers 7,300 of its 2011 Dodge Ram light-duty pickup trucks.
"Some of the vehicles may experience a separation at the crimped end of the power steering pressure hose assembly," the NHTSA said. "Leaked power steering fluid onto hot engine components could cause a fire."
Chrysler dealers will inspect and replace as necessary the power steering pressure hoses, the NHTSA said.
