Chrysler finally agrees to recall Jeeps

Chrysler has agreed to a massive Jeep recall.

U.S. federal regulators had wanted the company to recall nearly 3-million Grand Cherokees and Libertys. They say the location of the fuel tank makes it vulernable to rupture in a rear-end crash.

The recall covers 1993 through 2004 Grand Cherokees and Libertys from 2002 to 2007. Earlier this month, Chrysler execs said they wouldn’t recall the vehicles because they are the safest of their era. Chrysler originally had until the end of the day to lay out that reasoning in writing, but came to an agreement Tuesday afternoon.
