Fearing the risk of fire, brake failure and sticking accelerator pedals, US automaker Chrysler is making a slew of vehicle recalls, US government documents showed on Monday.
The Michigan-based firm has recalled almost 600,000 vehicles across four models, documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed.
The recall includes 288,968 Jeep Wranglers for faults that could cause friction between an inner fender and tubing and lead to break failure.
A total of 284,831 Dodge Grand Caravans and Chrysler Town & Country models have also been recalled because of ill-fitted wiring that poses a fire risk.
Around 25,336 Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass models are also being recalled for problems with a sticking accelerator pedal.
It is just the latest in a raft of recalls from Chrysler and other vehicle manufacturers.
Earlier this month Chrysler recalled 35,000 Dodge Caliber vehicles worldwide over problems with sticky acceleration pedals,
Chrysler saw its US sales surge 33 percent in May from a year earlier after emerging from bankruptcy.
