Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV plans two recalls to remedy fuel leaks and windshield wiper failures.
The larger recall covers 54,300 of the company’s 2016 model Dodge Dart small sedans in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Dealers will repair an electrical flaw that could short-circuit the windshield washer pump and disable the wipers.
FCA also is launching a global callback for 34,600 of its 2016 model Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs. Affected models are equipped with 3.6-liter gasoline engines that were made in Saltillo, Mexico. The company says an engine fuel rail could rub against a lower intake manifold fastener, begin leaking fuel and cause a fire.
