    Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2005-2006 dodge caravan, grand caravan and chrysler town & country vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, kansas, kentucky, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, missouri, nebraska, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, north dakota, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, south dakota, tennessee, utah, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, alaska and the district of columbia. The front crash sensors may crack under certain environmental conditions and allow water to enter into the sensor. This can cause the sensor to become inoperative and illuminate the airbag warning light. These sensors were added to enhance the performance of the airbag system in certain frontal crashes.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the front crash sensors become inoperative, the driver is immediately alerted by illumination of the airbag warning light and the vehicle should be promptly serviced. Until the vehicle is repaired, the airbags may not provide the enhanced protection in the event of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Chrysler will replace the front airbag sensors with a new design. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety improvement campaign will begin during june 2010. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

    Report filed by CHRYSLER GROUP LLC. Manufacturer campaign number J38. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  2. 07V192000Received . 270,958 units.

    Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain minivans are being recalled that were originally sold in or currently registered in the 27 states plus the district of columbia that use greater amounts of salt for winter road deicing. The up-front (uf) air bag sensors that contain brass bushings installed in these vehicles may corrode and crack allowing water to enter the sensor. These sensors provide enhanced air bag performance in certain types of frontal crashes.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In one of these crashes, with one or both of the vehicle's uf sensors inoperative, the occupants will not benefit from the enhanced air bag protection that these sensors would provide.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    For vehicles registered in the recall states, dealers will replace the original uf air bag sensors with ones with greater corrosion resistance. Vehicles registered in other states will obtain a lifetime free replacement of any uf sensor that fails. The campaign began on july 2, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

    Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer / Motor

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain vans and sport utility vehicles, the front windshield wiper motor armature shaft may break.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    During certain operating conditions, loss of front windshield wiping capability could occur, and the driver's vision could be obscured which could result in a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and replace the windshield wiper motor free of charge. The recall began on june 19, 2006, to dodge durango owners. Minivan owners will be notified during july 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

  4. 04V047000Received . 3,200 units.

    Seat Belts / Front / Retractor

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    After performing the ncap test, it was discovered that on certain minivans equipped without the available "stow 'n go" seating option, the right front seat belt retractor assembly may have been improperly assembled.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    As a result, the seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant during certain crash conditions, which can increase the risk of injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect the retractor assemblies and any seat belt assembly that does not have the stake will be replaced. Owner notification began on february 23, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
