DaimlerChrysler’s Chrysler Group is recalling 320,188 Dodge Durango sport utility vehicles and Dakota pickups because of a potential safety hazard involving the windscreen wipers, federal regulators told Associated Press.


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reportedly said water could get into the windscreen wiper motor on some vehicles, causing corrosion and malfunctions of the wipers.


Vehicles involved are 2002-2003 Durangos and 2002-2004 Dakotas, NHTSA reportedly said. Dealers will replace the front windshield wiper module, the agency told Associated Press.
