Chrysler announced recalls on several vehicles today across its range of brands totaling over 214,000 vehicles.

In total, the maker announced six recall campaigns. Those include 119,497 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger units from the 2011 and 2012 model years. The company says it needs to replace driver- and passenger-side airbag wiring harnesses that can cause the warning light to blink on and off.

As previously reported, there is also a recall announced on the 2007-08 Dodge Nitro and Jeep Liberty SUVs because of a shield in the driveshaft tunnel that can come loose.

Chrysler is also recalling 6,574 2013 Ram 1500 pickup trucks because brake cable equalizers in the parking brake might be improperly set, allowing the trucks to roll away on a steep enough grade. Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty trucks are also subject to a small recall for 6,143 units from the 2013 model year because the engine cover in specific models might not be heat resistant enough.

A recall concerning a condition that can interrupt the flow of fuel from the secondary side of the fuel tank to the primary side in the 2012 Jeep Patriot and Compass was also announced, affecting 20,532 units.

Finally, 46 Dodge Darts are also being recalled because Chrysler says it needs to replace the rear brake calipers because they can cause the brake cables to rub on the tires.
