Chrysler relents, to recall 2.7m Jeeps over fuel tanks

Chrysler said it would recall 2.7 million older Jeep models after initially fighting a recall request from US regulators in a dispute over crash protection for their fuel tanks.

The recall will affect Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from model years 1993 to 2004 and Jeep Liberty SUVs from 2002 to 2007.

Regulators from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the agency will continue to investigate the issue, including a review of new documents provided by Chrysler. NHTSA officials said they were pleased with Chrysler’s decision.
