FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM

Manufacturer
CHRYSLER LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's fuel gauge is the part that shows you how much gas you have left. In some 2009 Sebring and Dodge Avenger models with a 2.4L engine, the gauge can give you a wrong reading, making you think you have more gas than you actually do.
Risk if Unfixed
If you drive on an empty tank because of a faulty gauge, you could run out of fuel without warning. This could cause you to lose power and control of your vehicle, leading to a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump module with a new one, free of charge. This repair is expected to start in March 2009, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Manufacturer
CHRYSLER LLC
What Happened
The power train control module, or PCM, is the brain of your transmission system. It helps your car shift gears smoothly. In some 2009 models, a new adhesive used to make the PCM can cause it to break, like a brittle twig.
Risk if Unfixed
If the PCM fails, your engine could stall without warning, leaving you without power steering and brakes. This could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will replace the faulty power train control module with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible when you receive the recall notice.
