Details
What's wrong: Some vehicles may have been built with a fuel tank assembly containing a damaged roll-over valve.
Why it matters: In the event of an impact or roll-over, fuel leakage could occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about May 25, 2012.
