Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Disc / Rotor
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: passenger and multi-purpose vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, or wisconsin, and the district of columbia. The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 9 Mar 1998.
95V213000Received 7 Nov 1995. 90,000 units.
Seat Belts / Front / Anchorage
Defect, in the NHTSA record
The automatic shoulder belt systems can malfunction and become inoperative.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The lack of passive restraints could increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle collision.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the system track and drive assembly on automatic shoulder belt systems which are currently inoperative and those systems when they become inoperative in the future.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 5 Sep 1996.
94V006000Received 11 Jan 1994. 125,000 units.
Visibility / Defroster/Defogger/HVAC System / Heater Core
Defect, in the NHTSA record
The end cap connecting the heat exchanger's core to the engine cooling system could rupture and allow hot coolant to escape into the passenger compartment.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The coolant escaping into the passenger compartment could contact the driver's feet and injure the driver. Also, steam from the heater liquid will cloud on the window surfaces and impair the driver's vision. In either case, failure of the heater core end cap could result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
A coolant temperature controlled heater core fluid bypass valve will be installed.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 5 Aug 1994.
91V027000Received 13 Feb 1991. 76,000 units.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Rear brake tube routing is contacted by fuel tank heat shield when suspension is in full jounce position. This damages the brake fluid tube, causing a leak.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Loss of fluid from half of the diagonally split brakehydraulic system affects braking capability, which could result in an accident.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Modify heat shield to eliminate potential for shield contacting brake tube.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 28 Feb 1991.
90V205000Received 17 Dec 1990. 97,500 units.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Routing of the front brake hose may cause excessive hose flexing resulting in premature fatigue cracking of the outer hose cover.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This could lead to hose failure and loss of brake fluidreducing braking effectiveness.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Replace front brake hoses with hoses redesigned to provide a modified routing configuration.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 28 Feb 1991.
90V058000Received 23 Mar 1990. 12,500 units.
Steering / Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Lower intermediate steering shaft may separate at the rubber isolated coupling of the shaft.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This could result in loss of steering control and an accident.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Replace intermediate steering shaft with a shaft containing a restrained coupling.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 17 Apr 1990.
