Chrysler and NHTSA resolve their differences

By ,

After Chrysler initially denied an NHTSA request to recall 2.7 million 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty vehicles, the automaker has finally decided to conduct a voluntary campaign for said models.

An inspection will determine the necessity to upgrade the rear structure in order to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts.

Chrysler's analysis confirms that these SUVs are not defective and are among the safest in their respective class. Nevertheless, Chrysler opted to comply with the NHTSA to provide additional measures to supplement the safety of its vehicles.
