The Office of Defects Investigation recently sent notices of the following safety defect recalls:

Chrysler and Dodge Recall: 2009-10 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger recalled for a front wheel spindle nut defect. These vehicles may have been built without a front wheel spindle nut.

GM, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn Recall: 2006-07 Chevy Cobalt, Pontiac G5 and Saturn Ion recalled for a fuel pump module defect. The plastic supply or return port on the modular reservoir assembly may crack. If either of these ports develops a crack, fuel will leak from the area. If the crack becomes large enough, fuel may be observed dripping onto the ground and vehicle performance may be affected.

Mazda Recall: 1995-97, 2001-03 Mazda B-series pickup trucks recalled because a speed control deactivation switch overheats. A component of the cruise control deactivation switch may deteriorate over time and develop a leak. This occurrence could cause the switch to overheat, smoke or burn which could result in an underhood fire.

If you own any of these vehicles, you should contact your dealer to schedule the required repair immediately.
