99V340000Received . 334,047 units.
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 DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
97V069000Received . 2,500 units.
Steering / Gear Box (Other Than Rack and Pinion)
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
During assembly of the frame, a fillet weld that joins the inner steering gear attachment reinforcement to the frame rail, was omitted.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Due to high steering load events, vehicles can exhibit broken steering gear attaching bolts or frame rail cracking at the steering gear attaching point increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the vehicles for cracks in the frame rail. Vehicles that show cracks will be equipped with reinforcement plates. Vehicles that are found to be free of cracks will have a slot cut in the cross member and the fillet weld will be added.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
93V037000Received . 3,400 units.
Equipment / Other / Labels
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The tire and wheel specification information on the certification label indicates a minimum tire size larger than the tire actually fitted to the vehicle. This does not comply with FMVSS 120, "tire selection and rims."
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Installation of the wrong size tires to the rim could result in loss of vehicle control.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Provide correct certification labels to vehicle owners for application to the vehicles.
