Three major automakers have issued recall notices for some popular used car models, with nearly 75,000 vehicles recalled in total.
Honda recalled the most vehicles, with the company putting out a notice for more than 35,000 Civic Hybrids in the 2006 and 2007 model years. The company says that there may be a problem with the cars' voltage converter, which provides power to the motor. Should the converter fail, the engine could possibly stall. Honda claims that seven people have contacted the automaker with reports of stalling, while 82 warranty claims were made with regard to the converter.
Toyota will also be recalling vehicles, specifically FJ Cruisers, Sequoias, Tacomas, Tundras and Land Cruisers made between 2008 and 2010. Approximately 22,000 of these vehicles may have an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system, which may fail to notify a driver when their tires are running low on air.
Finally, Chrysler has announced that it will be recalling nearly 20,000 Jeep Wranglers from the 2010 and 2011 model years, with the issue being attributed to the fasteners on the axle. The company revealed that the fasteners may become loose, which could potentially cause a loss of control in the vehicle.
Drivers in the market for a new or used vehicle should consider New Jersey State Auto Auction, which offers a wide range of vehicles at affordable prices.
