Daimler Chrysler is having more trouble with its Jeep Grand Cherokee. A second recall due to commence this summer has been issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this time to repair the electric cooling fan because the plastic blades on the fan can separate and penetrate the fan shroud. According to the NHTSA, if the hood is open when the fan blades come apart, a blade could fly out and possibly cause a serious injury. About 131,441 SUVs from the 2000 to 2002 model years are being recalled and should be returned to dealers.
Owners of a Jeep Grand Cherokee may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
