(Adds revised Ram truck numbers in headline and first and fifth
paragraphs)
Oct 27 (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (N:FCAU) NV FCHA.MI said it is recalling 65,760 Ram trucks and 75,364 Jeep
Cherokee sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in the United States.
FCA said the recall of certain 2015-2016 Ram 1500
pickups produced between mid-June and late September this year
is to inspect and replace rear axles.
FCA said an internal investigation found axle shafts on some
trucks may not have been properly heat-treated and could thus
overheat and trigger the anti-lock brake system warning light,
leading to component fracture and possible wheel separation.
The recall of certain 2015 Jeep Cherokee SUVs is to replace
air-conditioning lines that may have been installed close to the
engines' exhaust manifolds, posing a fire risk.
The company said it is also recalling about 16,647 Ram
trucks in Canada, 1,924 in Mexico and 1,715 outside the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region.
FCA said it revised its overall Ram truck recall numbers to
match the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
(NHTSA) total.
The company had earlier said it is recalling 67,681 Ram
trucks in the United States, 17,127 in Canada, 1,935 in Mexico
and 1,390 outside the NAFTA region.
FCA said it was aware of one accident potentially related to
the axle shaft problem in Ram trucks, but no injuries.
The company said it is also recalling about 7,571 Jeep
Cherokees in Canada, 4,018 in Mexico and 6,942 outside the NAFTA
region.
FCA said it was unaware of any injuries or accidents related
to air-conditioning lines problem in the Jeep Cherokees.
