Warranty Information

Recalls Issued
| US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID | 99V244 |
|---|---|
| Number of Units Affected | 367,000 |
| Summary | The right rear brake tube can contact the exhaust system clamp and wear a hole in it. If this happens, the tube could leak, reducing the effectiveness of one-half of the diagonally split braking system, and result in longer stopping distances. |
| Remedy | Dealers will inspect the brake tubes for visible evidence of contact with the exhaust system clamp. If the tube shows evidence of contact, it will be replaced. If no evidence of contact exists, the tube will be fastened with a clip. Owner notification is expected to begin during November 1999. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chrysler at 1-800-992-1997. |
