The problem
Chrysler is recalling 1,585 my 2007-2008 Jeep wrangler, right hand drive only, vehicles. Some vehicles May have insufficient clearance between the steering intermediate shaft and rear brake tubes.
The risk
Prolonged brake tube contact could wear a hole in the tube and cause a partial brake system loss. This could cause a crash without warning.
The fix
Dealers will install a revised brake tube clip to retain the tubes, inspect the brake tubes for damage due to potential contact with the steering intermediate shaft, and replace the brake tubes if necessary. The recall began on June 30, 2008. Owners May contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
