PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING RECALL:INIVAN RECALL B24, CLOCKSPRING / WARRANTY EXTENSION HIS RECALL INVOLVES DODGE CARAVAN/GRAND CARAVAN, PLYMOUTH VOYAGER/GRAND VOYAGER AND CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN'S PRODUCED BY DAIMLERCHRYSLER FROM 1996 - 1998. THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY THAT CONNECTS THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ON THE MINIVANS, MAY LOSE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THOSE COMPONENTS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG, HORN AND/OR SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) TO BE INOPERATIVE. AN INOPERATIVE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND CAN RESULT IN INCREASED INJURY TO THE DRIVER IN A FRONTAL CRASH. A FAILED CLOCKSPRING WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, ON THE MINIVAN'S INSTRUMENT PANEL TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. IF THIS OCCURS, CONTACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM INSPECTED. IF YOUR DEALER DETERMINES THAT THE CLOCKSPRING HAS FAILED, IT WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE TO YOU. DOCUMENT ID: NOGCD123353 THE PROBLEM IS IN THE 1999 MODEL YEAR AS WELL. I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS WITH THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS BASICLY TOLD "TOO BAD" I FIND IT HARD TO BELIVE THAT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOUND IN A 1998 MODEL COULD NOT EXIST IN A 1999 MODEL.*AK

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB THE CONTROL UNIT WAS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN 1998. FAILURE OF THIS PART COULD ALLOW THE BRAKES TO LOCK UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL. *SCC
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HUB OF THE STEERING WHEEL.
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.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL COVERED VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. 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. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 12, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
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. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT FOR FLEET SALES ONLY. THE HEADLAMP MODULE DOES NOT IDENTIFY THE PARK LAMP AS "DRL" AS REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108.
Remedy: ALL FLEET OWNERS/OPERATORS WILL BE MAILED NON-REMOVABLE DECALS WITH THE REQUIRED "DRL" LETTERS.
