Yet another company has announced a recall on one of their vehicles. Chrysler full-size vans are being recalled for what is being reported as inadvertent ignition switches. The FCA US LLC has announced that they are voluntarily recalling them and that there are an estimated 16,114 full-size fans that need to be repaired.
THE ISSUE WITH THESE FULL-SIZE VANS
The reason for this recall is because of problems within the ignition, says the FCA. An FCA US investigation confirmed that the vans are equipped with components within the ignition that could end leading to the loss of electrical contact. The FCA continued and said that this condition was traced to a supplier’s manufacturing process and could cause power loss to the vans in danger. This is clearly a huge problem that can not be overlooked because the loss of power within a car would be terrible. As of this moment, the company has not been aware of any related injuries or death due to this problem, but it is better to fix it before a travesty occurs. It has also been stated that all customers who purchased a full-size van with this ignition problem will be advised when they can schedule their service. A company recalling a vehicle is certainly not rare considering that no company is perfect and they all make mistakes.
It has been said before and will be said again, it is better for a company to recall their vehicles to fix their problems than for them to just leave them and allow their customers to experience the issues and potentially be in danger. It has also been announced that they will be fixed for free, so that is also a huge positive for customers. Of course, if a company did indeed charge their customers for them to fix the problems with their product it would be asinine. There is no timetable on when customers will be able to get their Chrysler full-size vans back, but it can be rest assured that Chrysler will make this a top priority in the coming weeks.
