DETROIT (WKOW) -- Chrysler is adding more than 137,000 Jeep Liberty SUVs to a safety recall.

At this point, no crashes or injuries have bee reported relating to this problem.

Chrysler said in March that it was recalling about 200,000 Libertys from the 2004 and 2005 model years for the same problem.

The automaker says it will inspect the parts and replace them for free if needed.
