Chrysler Group to recall minivans to fix air bags
WASHINGTON (AP) -- DaimlerChrysler is recalling its 2005 Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country minivans to fix faulty air bags that may not deploy because of corrosion on the sensors.
The auotmaker says the recall involves more than 400-thousand vehicles sold or registered in states that use large amounts of road salt.
DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Group says in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that brass brushings on the sensors could corrode and crack on the front air bags, allowing water to enter the sensor.
Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri are among the 27 states covered by the recall.
Owners can contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
