Chrysler has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2009 Dodge Journey equipped without optional 115 volt auxiliary power outlet.  An unused electrical connector for the optional 115 volt auxiliary power outlet option may become corroded and could short circuit.

If the fuse for this circuit does not blow, the connector could overheat and potentialy catch fire.  Dealers will re-route and stow the 115 volt auxiliary power outlet connector and pull the 25 amp fuse to remove power from this unused circuit free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin during March 2009.  Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
