Chrysler Faces Second Recall in a Month : Autos: Sedans need wiring repair. Neon fixes were ordered earlier.

Chrysler Corp. recalled 110,000 of its 1994 sedans on Monday to fix faulty wiring that could cause the engines to stop.

The action came just 10 days after the company recalled all of its new Neon subcompacts.

Monday’s recall affects the Chrysler Concorde, New Yorker and LHS; Dodge Intrepid and Eagle Vision models that were built from late July through early December of 1993.

The defect hasn’t caused any injury or accident, Chrysler said.

The recalls have hit Chrysler as the newly resurgent company introduces new models designed to answer Japanese competition.

The new lines include the 1995 Chrysler Cirrus and Dodge Stratus, as well as the Neon, which went on sale Jan. 2.

Analysts said Chrysler’s handling of the recalls will be important.

“Quality is an issue Chrysler still has to address,” said Thomas O’Grady, chief executive at Integrated Automotive Resources Inc. “They have to come out and stand behind their car.”

David Cole, director of the Office for the Study of Automotive Transportation at the University of Michigan, said Chrysler had dealt well with the recalls so far, but customer reaction remained to be seen.

“What’s important to the customer is that they’re dealt with in a forthright manner--no Mickey Mouse, and with a minimum of inconvenience,” Cole said.

The problem with the sedans could cause wiring to touch part of the steering mechanism and short out the car’s lights or prevent it from starting, Chrysler spokeswoman Pamela Gross said.

In the Feb. 4 recall of the Neon, Chrysler instructed dealers to pick up the cars, offer the owners “loaners” and return the cars cleaned and with gas tanks filled.

The Neon recall, for an electrical problem that could cause the engine to stall, affected all 15,000 Neons built, but only 1,300 of the cars had been sold.

Unlike the Neon recall, the latest recall has no special offers because the problem is neither major nor immediate, Gross said. Adding a bracket to hold the wire in place--a step that would take only 45 minutes--would correct the problem, according to Chrysler.

It was the first recall of the LHS luxury sedans, which had been received well by critics.

The Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler Concorde and Eagle Vision were recalled in 1992 for a washer replacement. That recall affected 4,000 cars.

Last month, 115,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Grand Wagoneers were recalled for repairs of a defect that could cause loss of steering control. They were also recalled in April, 1993--87,000 for repairs to rear-door latches, and an additional 30,000 vehicles for suspension bolt repairs.

Last November, 4,000 1994 Dodge Ram full-size pickups were recalled for tightening of a front suspension bolt. A month later, Chrysler recalled 17,800 Ram pickups for a defective latch that made the seats to tilt forward in sudden stops.

Chrysler’s stock rose 75 cents to $59.75 a share Monday on the New York Stock Exchange.
