The problem
Chrysler is recalling 16,852 my 2009 Dodge journey vehicles equipped without optional 115 volt auxiliary power outlet. An unused electrical connector for the optional 115 volt auxiliary power outlet option May become corroded and could short circuit.
The risk
If the fuse for this circuit does not blow, the connector could overheat and potentially catch fire.
The fix
Dealers will re-route and stow the 115 volt auxiliary power outlet connector and pull the 25 amp fuse to remove power from this unused circuit free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2009. Owners May contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
