DETROIT (Reuters) -- The Chrysler group today said it would recall 80,894 Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro models from 2007 to eliminate the potential for a brief interruption of electrical power to the instrument cluster and the engine.

The automaker said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had received about 180 complaints of engine stalling in Wrangler and Nitro vehicles.

Chrysler, in the process of being sold by DaimlerChrysler AG, said it would begin notifying owners later this week and the work would be completed at no cost to owners.
