Chrysler Recalls 895,000 SUVs Over Wiring Issue
Chrysler has announced a recall that affects 895,000 SUVs over wiring issues in the vanity mirror.
The 2011 through 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are affected by this issue, which is only present in vehicles that have had a repair related to the vanity mirror or headliner. In these vehicles, the wiring may short circuit due to improper reassembly by the dealer, increasing the risk of a fire.

Out of the 895,000 affected vehicles, 651,000 are located in the U.S.
