This case of automotive recalls has been rolling from the year 2010, when the Chrysler once said, based on the allegations NHTSA analysis and incomplete data, the comparison is not representative, as well as the results of previous safety tests can be used as evidence to reject the recall.
While NHTSA issued a statement about automotive recalls that contains the answer, "This vehicle may have a disability and presents risks to security," he continued urging Chrysler to change its position.
It's a rare automobile manufacturer said no, the recall order of the authorities, at least every decision must be consequences.
Interesting to observe the selection of Chrysler Group which rejected a request to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to withdraw artificial 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty from 2002 to 2007. The incidence was similar controversy when the Ford Pinto in 1977.
NHTSA unwarranted placement of the fuel tank on the Jeep less true, because it is behind the rear axle. Besides vulnerable to leaking, its position can cause a potential fire when a collision from the rear.
