Default Chrysler Recalls 285,000 Minivans

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Chrysler Group is recalling about 285,000 model year 2008 and 2009 Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country cars in the U.S. because of possible fire hazards.

The National Highway Safety Administration said some of the vehicles, manufactured between February and September 2007, may have been built with "an improperly routed wire harness" that could short circuit and ultimately cause a fire.

"The company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue," said a company spokesman in a statement. Chrysler said it was conducting a voluntary safety recall for the vehicles "to inspect the sliding-door wire-track assembly for damage and repair or replace as necessary."
This caught my attention. The track that holds the wiring harness on my mother's 08 Grand Caravan broke awhile back and I haven't gotten around to taking it in. I'm sure it's related to this recall.
