The 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser has two recalls, the more serious being a brake tube on certain turbocharged manual-transmission models that can wear through from contact with the transaxle housing and cause a loss of braking force.
This recall only affects vehicles with the 2.4L turbocharged engine, ABS, and a 5-speed manual transaxle. The second recall involves rear quarter window glass whose mounting fasteners can pull free from their mounts, allowing the glass to separate from the vehicle while driving and potentially strike other vehicles on the road.
