According to the company, certain 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/town and country">Chrysler Town and Country</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/grand caravan">Dodge Grand Caravan</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/journey">Dodge Journey </a>vehicles were built with ignitions that could accidently switch from the "run" position to "accessory," thereby causing the engine to shut off.<br />
<br />
Both the company and NHTSA are concerned that the issue could cause an accident. As such, Chrysler will replace the ignition modules free of charge beginning in April of this year.<br />
<br />
The recall includes vehicles manufactured between August 3, 2009 and June 17, 2010, and owners can contact Chrysler for more information. Click past the jump for the full recall notice.<br />
