Paraphrased:
The recall affects the 2006 model-year 300, Charger & Magnum with 2.7 liter engines.
In some cases, the exhaust gas recirculation tube could come into contact with the brake tube and cause it to wear through or burn through, cause brake fluid to leak, and lead to a fire.

Chrysler recalls 44,000 cars for brake problem
The auto manufacturer's Charger sedans and Magnum wagons may be prone to brake fluid leaks.
May 6, 2006: 11:33 AM EDT

DETROIT (Reuters) - Chrysler is recalling more than 44,000 cars, including some of its best-selling 2006 models, to fix a problem that can cause a loss of brake power or an engine fire, U.S. safety regulators said Friday.

DaimlerChrysler AG (Research) said it was recalling some 2006 versions of its 300 and Charger sedans and the Magnum wagon because the hydraulic brake tubes in the cars are prone to rub against a tube in the exhaust system.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that could cause the brake tubes to wear and leak brake fluid.

Versions of the vehicles equipped with 2.7-liter engines are affected by the recall, the company said.

Chrysler said that its dealers would inspect and replace any faulty brake tubes on the recalled cars, which are all built on the same Mercedes-derived platform.

Chrysler dealers will also install a clip to keep the brake lines from contact with the exhaust tube, the company said.

Separately, Chrysler said it was recalling almost 7,000 Jeep Wranglers because of a clutch problem on versions of the 2006 model outfitted with a 6-speed manual transmission.

This was posted several days ago here and can be found using the search function. The recall only affects the 2.7L model so I will merge your thread...

Welcome to our forums, check in over here and let us know a little something about yourself!

In case anyone is wondering, the new recall has not been officially released yet which is why I do not have the file available to download on the main TSB page. As soon as I get it I will post it.
