An ignition switch problem is forcing Chrysler to recall nearly 350,000 vehicles from the 2008 model year (manufactured before May 12th, 2008), including 18,976 in Canada.
Affected models include the Dodge Charger and Magnum, the Chrysler 300, as well as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander.
No related accidents or injuries have been reported so far, Chrysler says.
This ignition switch problem, similar to the one that led GM to recall millions of vehicles in the past year, could unexpectedly stall the engine and affect power steering operation, among other things.
While a remedy is being determined, Chrysler advises owners to remove the ignition key from their key chain before starting the vehicle.
