Chrysler is recalling about 469,000 SUVs worldwide to fix a gearshift issue.
The recall affects 2006- to 2010-model-year Jeep Commanders and 2005 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokees.
A Chrysler spokesman said that the company was aware of 26 accidents and 2 injuries related to the gearshift problem but no fatalities.
Also, Chrysler is recalling 532 2013-model-year Ram 1500 pickup trucks in the United States and Canada to inspect and possibly replace windshield defrosting and defogging components.
In addition, the company is recalling about 5,330 right-hand-drive 2008 to 2012 Jeep Wranglers to install dust shields to prevent dust buildup that could compromise airbag operation. All of the vehicles are in the United States.
According to Chrysler, it was unaware of any accidents or injuries linked to the Ram and Wrangler recall issues.
Chrysler said it will directly contact affected customers and make the repairs for free.
