The problem
Chrysler is recalling 91 my 2009 sebring and Dodge avenger equipped with 2.4l engine passenger vehicles. A compatibility issue between the instrument cluster software and fuel pump module can result in the fuel gauge overstating the actual fuel tank level. As a result, the vehicle May run out of fuel when the gauge indicates that there is still fuel remaining in the tank.
The risk
This could cause a crash without warning.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel pump module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during March 2009. Owners May contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
