Details

What's wrong: The pivot bushings in vehicles with oversized accelerator pedal bearing pockets may become dislodged and potentially cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick.

Why it matters: Should the pedal bind or become stuck, it can be overcome by Smart brakes which override the accelerator pedal in certain conditions.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace all affected accelerator pedal assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on June 29, 2010.
