DETROIT (Reuters) - DaimlerChrysler's (DCX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) (DCXGn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) Chrysler division is recalling more than 98,000 cars and sport utility vehicles because of problems that could cause either engine compartment fires or crashes, federal safety regulators said on Friday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said vehicles affected by the recalls included 71,763 Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2004 model year, which have battery cables that can abrade and potentially trigger a short circuit or underhood fire.
NHTSA said Chrysler was also recalling 26,354 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus mid-size cars from the 2005 model year, because their right steering knuckles can crack and separate from the control arm, possibly resulting in a crash.

Yup, my dad got that D40 in today. I'm gonna just fix it with him ourselves. Needs to be rerouted. The positive battery cable rubs up against the lower control arm. Hes got almost 30k on it, but the last thing I want is my little 5 year old brother in a truck with my dad when it blows up.....How can Dumbler Chrysler overlook these things??? I don't understand it. Cheap-os
