  2. 02V053000Received . 1,620,000 units.

    Power Train / Automatic Transmission / Lever and Linkage / Floor Shift

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain sport utility vehicles, if a driver has not placed the shifter lever fully into the "park" position and leaves the vehicle running, the vehicle may unexpectedly move rearward after seeming to be stable.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Inadvertent movement of the vehicle could result in a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will install a secondary detent system to the floor shifter assembly. Daimlerchrysler sent interim notices to owners concerning this problem on march 22, 2002. Owner notification began september 23, 2002. 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.

    Report filed by DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number B02. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  3. 98V005000Received . 293,369 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.

  4. 93V210000Received . 115,000 units.

    Steering / Steering Wheel/Handle Bar

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The molded plastic pin which connects the upper steering column shaft and the lower column shaft may have been sheared prior to installation of the steering column assembly into the vehicle. If this occurred, the upper steering shaft will separate from the lower steering shaft.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the upper and lower steering shafts separate, completeloss of steering control will occur, which could result in an accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    A restraining sleeve will be added to the intermediate shaft to limit the amount of steering shaft movement available.

  5. 93V055000Received . 80,000 units.

    Structure / Body / Hatchback/Liftgate

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Grease applied to the liftgate latch rubber bumpers to ease component assembly caused the bumper to swell, interfering with the movement of the liftgate latch pawl. This prevents the liftgate latching when closed and difficult to open when latched.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An unlatched liftgate can open while the vehicle is inmotion, and could result in an occupant falling out.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Replace the liftgate assembly on affected vehicles.

    Suspension / Front

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The eccentric cam adjuster bolts in both front lower suspension arm-to-front axle bracket attachments may fail due to assembly misalignment.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Cam bolt failures cause the vehicle to pull to oneside when the brakes are applied, resulting in a possible loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Replace the front suspension cam bolts, cam washers, and nuts with components of a different design.

    Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Improperly installed retainer clips will be removed and new retainer clips will be properly installed.
