    DETROIT (Reuters) - The Chrysler unit of DaimlerChrysler is recalling more
    than 326,000 pickup trucks and Durango sport utility vehicles because of two
    potential safety problems, federal regulators said on Tuesday.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the largest of the
    two recalls involved 320,188 Durangos and Dakota pickups with front
    windshield wiper units that are susceptible to water intrusion, corrosion
    and eventual failure.

    Vehicles affected include Durango SUVs from the 2002-2003 model years and
    2002-2004 Dakotas, NHTSA said.

    Separately, the agency said Chrysler was recalling 6,183 Dodge Ram 1500 and
    2500 pickups because some were sold with erroneous vehicle certification
    labels.

    The labels include ``incorrect tire, wheel and recommended inflation
    pressure information'' and fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety
    standards, NHTSA said.

    Automakers have been recalling an increasing number of vehicles in recent
    years and industry critics say Detroit's traditional Big Three have been
    responsible for a disproportionate number of the cars and trucks affected.
