American automaker Chrysler Group has recalled about 10,700 sport utility vehicles (SUV) in North America due to defects in on-board cruise-control technology.
The recall affects 2014 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Cherokees, Grand Cherokees and high-performance Grand Cherokee SRTs manufactured from 16 January to 17 April 2014.
According to the company, when cruise control is engaged, the vehicle may accelerate for about a second even after the accelerator pedal is released.
"In high-performance vehicles subject to the recall, the event may last up to two seconds before deceleration begins," the company said.
From the 10,700 vehicles, about 6,100 vehicles were sold in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region.
The company claims to be unaware of any injuries, accidents or complaints related to the issue.
In April 2014, the American automaker had recalled nearly 870,000 vehicles to fix a defect in the brake systems.
