Chrysler Group LLC will recall 119,100 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans in the U.S. to replace and relocate a control fuse for the antilock brakes and electronic stability control systems.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that in 2011-2012 model year Chargers and 300s, a plastic insert in the fuse can deform when overheated, thus causing the ABS or ESC systems to intermittently lose power.
Chrysler recalled 10,000 Dodge Charger police cars in February for the same problem.
