On May 13, 2008, Chrysler LLC recalled about 1,600 2007 and 2008 Jeep Wranglers because some vehicles have insufficient clearance between the steering intermediate shaft and the rear brake tubes, which could cause a partial brake system loss over time. This can result in catastrophic injury from a car accident.

To remedy the problem, Chrysler dealers will install a revised brake tube clip, inspect the brake tubes for damage and replace the brake tubes, if necessary.

Chrysler owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. For more information, customers may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-88-327-4236, or visit safercar.gov.
