Chrysler announced that it is recalling 288,968 Jeep Wranglers ranging from the 2006 through 2010 model years because of a potential brake fluid leak. Chrysler also said that 76,430 Wranglers are being recalled in Canada, Mexico and other international markets. According to NHTSA the Wranglers affected by the recall were made from May 15, 2006 through Aug. 9, 2010. A smaller number of Jeep Compass models were recalled last week.The Wrangler recall is due to the fact that the front inner fender liners on the Jeeps can rub against the brake fluid tubes and cause a leak. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the leak could lead to a partial brake loss.

From NHTSA recall report:

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 10V236000
CHRYSLER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JUNE 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER TOLL-FREE AT 1-800-853-1403.

CHRYSLER'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS K13. OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV .

I wish they'd recall that dog of an engine under the hood of the current JK!    Can't wait until the Pentastar is offered!
