Under pressure: Chrysler recalls 2.7 million Jeeps for safety inspection

Overturning their initial decision to not recall Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty models due to possible cissues with the placement of their gas tanks, Chrysler has agreed to inspect and repair all Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 1993-2004 and Jeep Liberty models from 2002-07. Owners of these vehicles should take them to dealers who will give the Jeeps “a visual inspection of the vehicle” and if necessary “an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts.”

“Chrysler Group regards safety as a paramount concern and does not compromise on the safety of our customers and their families," Chrysler said in a statement. Check this site for more information.
