RIO - Two new recalls of vehicles were called on Wednesday by Chrysler for Jeep Wrangler, and GM, which increased call made three months ago to more cars Chevrolet Omega. The first model will be returning to dealerships because a water infiltration problem in the wiring of the mirrors was identified. The second this is problem in the ignition key.
The owners of 709 vehicles Jeep Wrangler 2011 to 2013, with chassis numbering 1C4BJWAGOCL115947 the 1J4BA5H1XBL585021 will have to schedule inspection and shutdown of the heating function of the side mirrors, which will remain off until the necessary parts for reconnection are available.
In a statement, the company said it had identified the possibility of water infiltration in the wiring of the side view mirrors. "This infiltration, over time, can cause corrosion of the connectors and terminals with consequent overheating of the same, resulting in extreme cases, combustion with possible material and physical damage to the driver, other occupants of the vehicle and third," said the note.
As soon as the necessary parts for system reconnection are available, the automaker said it will contact the owners of the vehicles involved to schedule the delivery of the service. For more information, the company provides the phones 0800-703-7150.
But the recall of Omega vehicles, released last September 23, was expanded to 634 more units.
