Chrysler, Honda Announce Recalls

Honda recalls over 1.8 lakh Civic sedans globally

??” Chrysler LLC said Friday it would recall nearly 300,000 sport utility vehicles to address potential braking problems while driving uphill.

The Chrysler recall involves more than 156,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Commander SUVs from the 2006-07 model years, more than 90,000 2007 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and nearly 50,000 2007 Dodge Nitro SUVs.

In a separate move, Honda Motor Co. said it was recalling more than 180,000 Civics from the 2006-07 model year to fix a wheel-bearing seal that could leak and lead to a wheel falling off the car.

In Honda's recall, the automaker said in an Aug. 30 letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the seal where the antilock brake sensor mounts to the rear wheel bearing could allow moisture and salt to leak into the wheel bearing and cause corrosion.
