DETROIT — Chrysler is recalling nearly 600,000 minivans and Jeep Wranglers because of brake or wiring problems that could create safety issues, the company said Monday. In Canada, the company issued a recall of approximately 29,000 Jeep Wranglers from the 2007 through 2010 model years due to a potential brake fluid leak. It also recalled about 15,000 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008 and 2009 model years because a wiring problem can cause a fire inside the sliding doors. Chrysler said it isn’t aware of any accidents related to either issue. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website the automaker is recalling 288,968 Jeep Wranglers and 284,831 minivans in that country.
The Wranglers affected by the recall were made from May 15, 2006 through Aug. 9, 2010, according to NHTSA. The minivans were made from February 2007 through September 2007.
