Dodge recalls 12,000 Dart sedans in Canada over brake issues

Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 121,600 Dodge Dart cars worldwide — including nearly 12,000 in Canada — because of a defect that could affect the brake systems. The recall affects 2013 and 2014 modelyear Darts with 2.0 and 2.4- litre engines. Fiat Chrysler said it is aware of two minor injuries and seven accidents possibly linked to the defect. The automaker will contact owners and dealers to have the affected cars updated for free. Fiat Chrysler said oil can get on parts of the braking system and if the oil degrades those parts, the brakes could become more difficult to use. It could also take drivers longer to stop their cars. The recall affects 105,458 Darts in the U. S., 11,996 in Canada and 4,149 in Mexico and elsewhere.
