Chrysler Recalls Vehicles for Risk of Engine Stall or Engine Failure

Chrysler Group LLC has recalled over 500 model year 2013 Dodge Avengers and

Chrysler200s, and model year 2014 Jeep Compasses and Jeep Patriots, all equipped with 2.4L engines.  According to Chrysler Group LLC, abrasive debris in the balance shaft bearings of these vehicles may cause a loss of engine pressure, which can cause the vehicle’s engine to stall or fail.  Chrysler admits that, if the engine stalls while driving, this may increase the risk of an accident.
