THE TOP OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SHOCK TOWER, AS VIEWED FROM UNDER THE HOOD, IS VERY CORRODED. MECHANIC ADVISED GETTING RID OF VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR FACE EXTENSIVE $ REPAIRS FOR SHOCK TOWER AND STRUT. AREA OF CORROSION WAS PROFESSIONALLY RUST PROOFED IN 1998 AND WAS STILL ABLE TO CORRODE. I WONDER HOW BAD THE CORROSION IS ON THESE VEHICLES THAT WERE NOT RUST PROOFED? SHOCK TOWER CORROSION APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ALL 1996-2001 CHRYSLER, DODGE AND PLYMOUTH MINIVANS. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE STRUTS START POPPING THROUGH THE HOODS ON THESE VEHICLES, THUS CAUSING ACCIDENTS. ADVISE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK

ON CHRYSLER VANS, ROD CONSISTENTLY BREAKS ON CYLINDER #1 BECAUSE THE BOLT IS TOO SHORT. ONLY HAPPENS ON CYLINDER #1, EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT SAME HEAD, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ENGINE (WHICH WOULD BE CYLINDER #6) DOES NOT BREAK LIKE #1 DOES CONSISTENTLY.

FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ROUTING OF THE SHOULDER BELT WEBBING AND ANY FOUND INCORRECT WILL BE PROPERLY ROUTED.
