Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2007 dodge caliber and Jeep Compass passenger vehicles manufactured from march 7 through may 19, 2006. The pivot bushings in vehicles with oversized accelerator pedal bearing pockets may become dislodged and potentially cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick.
Risk: Should the pedal bind or become stuck, it can be overcome by smart brakes which override the accelerator pedal in certain conditions.
