Chrysler Electrical Overheating Problem

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

In a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Chrysler said that they will be recalling certain 2011-2012 Chrysler 300 and 2011-2012 Dodge Charger vehicles for an overheating electrical issue.
