Rest of info:
The recall was the second such action by Chrysler in two weeks. In late February, the No. 4 U.S. automaker recalled almost 51,000 vehicles to reprogram software for anti-lock brakes.
Chrysler, the struggling U.S. arm of DaimlerChrysler AG, said it was recalling 328,424 Durango SUVs because of the risk of overheating linked to an integrated circuit in the instrument cluster of the vehicles.
The recall covers 2004 to 2006 model year SUVs, Chrysler said.
Chrysler, which faces a possible sale by its German parent company, also said it was recalling 10,994 of its recently released 2008 model Dodge Avenger sedans because of a problem with the door latches on the new cars.
In a third recall action, the automaker said it would service up to 149,605 Jeep Liberty vehicles because of a problem with the blower motor in the air-conditioning system. Chrysler said that in some cases the motors could fail, particularly in hot weather.
That recall affects 2006 and 2007 model-year Jeep Liberty vehicles, Chrysler said.
Chrysler said it would notify affected owners of the recalls. Notices to Durango owners will go out in April, while owners of the Liberty will be notified in May, it said.

What about the 99 Sebring pc of crap that I sold. The anti-lock brakes and traction control unit mounted down low behind the front right wheel would get wet and die
It cost 3000 to fix and the person who has it now will be changing the same parts again! I say crap on Chrysler
But thats JMHO!
And no mention of the settlement that Toyota just made because of their faulty engines siezing up after 15000 miles?
