2009 Chrysler Sebring recalls

Fuel system, other: storage, fuel gauge system

NHTSA campaign 09V047000 · reported February 4, 2009 · CHRYSLER LLC · 91 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Chrysler is recalling 91 my 2009 sebring and dodge avenger equipped with 2.4l engine passenger vehicles. A compatibility issue between the instrument cluster software and fuel pump module can result in the fuel gauge overstating the actual fuel tank level. As a result, the vehicle may run out of fuel when the gauge indicates that there is still fuel remaining in the tank.
The risk: This could cause a crash without warning.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pump module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during march 2009. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
