This recall pertains specifically to the Dodge Viper, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Liberty units built from February 15, 2005 through September 14, 2006. The company hasn’t specified the model years covered, but when you look at the production periods... Of course, this recall only applies to those Jeep models with the manual transmission while all Vipers from that period are included since the Viper only comes with a proper manual transmission. We also know that this recall impacts a total of 58,833 vehicles around the world, with 43,874 in the United States and the rest outside of the country, but there has been no breakdown as to how many of each vehicle has been recalled.
