1.16 million DaimlerChrysler minivans, SUVs and pick-ups are being investigated for possible airbag and steering defects, according to Reuters.


The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had escalated a preliminary evaluation of the problems to the status of an “engineering analysis.” This is a move that often precedes a full safety recall, noted Reuters.


2005 and 2006 Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country minivans are being investigated for failure of front airbag crash sensors.


Dodge Durango SUVs from 2004 to 2006 model years and Dodge Dakota pick-ups are being checked because of complaints about loose steering wheel and shaft coupling bolts.
