Owners of a handful of MY 2008 DaimlerChrysler products now have one thing in common with those who own certain General Motors models: An ignition-related recall.
Chrysler Group says 349,442 MY 2008 vehicles have ignitions where the switch remains stuck between the "ON" and "START" positions, or slips into "ACCESSORY" or "OFF"; the latter scenario cuts power to the engine, steering and air bags.
The affected were assembled before May 12, 2008, and consist of the following:
- Dodge: Charger, Magnum
- Chrysler: 300
- Jeep: Commander, Grand Cherokee
The recall covers 292,224 units in the United States, 18,976 in Canada, 4,947 in Mexico and 33,295 around the globe. Chrysler recommends removing everything from the ignition key, as well as confirming the switch is in the "ON" position after starting their vehicles, until affected owners are able to bring in their vehicle for free servicing.
A similar recall issued earlier this year affected 890,000 vehicles made between January 2007 and June 2010, where the switches also could slip from "ON" to "ACCESSORY."
