Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger recalled to fix electric problem

Chrysler is recalling almost 120,000 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans from the 2011 and 2012 model years to fix an electrical-system problem.

The problem is with a fuse in the power-distribution center, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the power center overheats it could lead to a loss of antilock brakes and electronic stability control, which could lead to a crash.

Chrysler will notify dealers and owners this month and begin scheduling repairs. The dealer will relocate the ABS/ESC system fuse free of charge.

Owners can contact Chrysler for more information at (800) 247-9753, or NHTSA at www.safercar.gov or (888) 327-4236.
