DETROIT, United States (AFP) - The Chrysler Group is recalling close to one million minivans due to electrical problems that have caused the driver side air bag to fail, according to regulators.
The problem has been linked to injuries in four crashes according to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, which said it had received hundreds of complaints on the issue.
The recall covers 955,000 minivans and affects five models: the Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager, and Chrysler Town and Country from the 1998-2000 model years.
Chrysler said it will replace the clockspring that supplies current to the driver`s side air bag on those vehicles that have less than 70,000 miles and have a problem.
The automaker will offer an extended warranty to those customers whose vehicles have not developed the problem.
