CHICAGO: Chrysler will recall nearly 120,000 vehicles in the United States to fix an electrical problem with the anti-lock brake and stability control, safety regulators said Monday.

The automaker found that the power distribution center in certain Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300 vehicles can overheat and blow a fuse.

If the fuse blows, the vehicle could lose its anti-lock brake and stability control system.

"This could lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash," Chrysler said in a submission to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Chrysler said it is not aware of any crashes, injuries or fires as a result of the defect but will be replacing the faulty fuse at no cost.

The defect was first discovered in a Michigan State Police training vehicle in February.
