Defect:
Vehicle description: certain passenger vehicles, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." some of the owner's manuals for these vehicles are missing instructions that provide a step-by-step procedure, including diagrams, for properly attaching a child restraint system's tether strap to the tether anchorage.
Consequence:
In the event of a crash, the child seat may not be properly attached increasing the risk of injury to the child.
Correction:

Affected:
85,400
Defect:
Vehicle description: light duty trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with 4-wheel drive. the electric shift transfer case may not fully engage into gear when the operator moves the transfer case selector switch.
Consequence:

Correction:
Dealers will reprogram the transfer case control module. owner notification began april 9, 2001. 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.

Component:
Suspension:front:control arm:upper ball joint
Manufactured:
01/06/1999 - 12/30/2002
Affected:
592,707
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with four-wheel drive (4x4), if moisture leaks into the front suspension upper ball joint, evacuation of the lubricant and corrosion of the joint may cause the joint to wear over an extended period of time. this could cause a clunking noise in the front suspension, which may not always be heard by the vehicle occupants.
Consequence:
Excessive wear in the upper ball joint may allow it to separate, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the front suspension upper ball joints. this safety improvement campaign began on december 21, 2004. owners can contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Consequence:
A jammed open throttle could cause unintended acceleration of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash or increased stoping distances when braking.
Correction:
K&n will provide owners with a free repair kit along with repair instructions. the recall began on april 20, 2006.
Notes:
This recall only pertains to replacement k&n fuel performance kits and has no relation to any original equipment installed on dodge vehicles manufactured by daimlerchrysler.customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
06V339000 on 09/10/2006
Component:
Electrical system
Manufactured:
05/31/2000 - 06/30/2003
Affected:
35,103
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with front bench seats only, if fluid is spilled from the floor mounted cup holder, an unused console power outlet connector located under the seat may become contaminated.
Consequence:
This may allow development of a high resistive short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the console wiring connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent additional fluid from contaminating the connector free of charge. the recall began on october 30, 2006. owners may contact daimler chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Component:
Power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:column shift
Manufactured:
06/30/2000 - 07/17/2002
Affected:
576,418
Defect:
On certain van and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the ignition/park shift interlock system may become inoperative. this can allow the shifter to be moved out of the "park" position with the ignition key removed (or in the "lock" position). this can also allow the ignition key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the "park" position.
Consequence:
Either of these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away causing a crash without warning.
Correction:

Campaign:
08E064000 on 10/19/2008
Component:
Suspension:front:hub
Affected:
2,805
Defect:
Skf is recalling 2,805 hub units, part no. br930361, sold as a service part for 1997-2004 dodge dakota vehicles and 1999-2003 dodge durango vehicles equipped with 2-wheel drive & rear axle abs. due to a specification error, the rotor pilot for the hub unit may be too long. this results in the wheel to not be seated fully against the hub flange face during mounting.
Consequence:
Improper seating of the wheel can result in excessive vibration, brake rotor noise, difficulty removing the wheel after installation and operation of the vehicle, and possibly wheel-end separation during vehicle operation. should wheel-end separation occur, the driver could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
Correction:
Skf will notify owners and replace the defective hub units free of charge. the recall began on november 5, 2008. owners may contact skf vsm north america customer service at 1-800-644-8999.
