Fire In The Sky: Chrysler Recalls Breezes, Stratuses, Cirruses

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Chrysler Group's recalling around 265,000 '99-01 Plymouth Breezes, Dodge Stratuses (Strata? Stratii?) and Chrysler Cirruses (again, plural form, please?) due to a possible fire danger involving a power-steering pump hose. Apparently, the cars are running hotter than expected and the hose can't handle the heat, cracking and leaking power steering fluid somewhere it could possibly ignite. A number of flaming cars have already been reported, leading us to ask the question, could a burning Breeze legitimately be called a Santa Ana wind?
