Chrysler is recalling about 26,000 cars and pickup trucks because power steering fluid can leak onto a hot engine and cause a fire.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its
website that the recall includes some 2010 models of the Chrysler
300 and Sebring, the Dodge Avenger, Challenger and Journey, and
some 2011 Dodge Ram pickups.

NHTSA said Wednesday that a power steering hose assembly can
separate at the crimped end and leak fluid onto the engine. Dealers
will inspect the vehicles and replace the hoses for free.   

Owners with questions can contact Chrysler at 800-853-1403.
