Chrysler is recalling nearly 87,000 Jeep Wranglers in the US, Canada and elsewhere due to a risk of fires. The recall affects only Wranglers from the 2010 model year that have automatic transmissions and were built before July 14, 2010, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted on Saturday on its website. Debris can get caught between a plate that protects the transmission and the catalytic converter, causing a fire. A catalytic converter is part of the exhaust system and uses heat and precious metals to control pollution. Chrysler knows of at least 14 complaints of fires caused by the problem with 2010 Wranglers. The company says it doesn't know of any injuries.It said debris can get trapped when the SUVs are driven off-road or through tall brush. Chrysler, which makes the classic Wrangler and other Jeeps, will fix the problem free of charge by replacing the plate with a bar so debris doesn't get caught. The recall affects about 68,000 Wranglers in the US, 6,000 in Canada, 1,500 in Mexico and about 11,000 in other countries.
