Recall Alert: 2007 Dodge Caliber

2007dodgecaliber
Chrysler is recalling 25,300 2007 Dodge Calibers in the U.S.  due to a sticky accelerator pedal. Yes, the issue is similar to the one certain Toyota models faced, but the defect is mechanical in nature, not from the design of the pedals.
 
Under certain conditions, bushings can dislodge and stop the accelerator pedal from returning to the idle position. The pedal is supplied by the same company, CTS, as the defective Toyota pedals.

All Chrysler products since 2003 have brake override systems in place.

This recall affects only Calibers built between March 7 and May 19, 2006, that are equipped with continuously variable automatic transmissions.

There are other recalls for Jeep Compass models, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website is showing errors for its recall notices at this time. We’ll update this post when more information becomes available.
