NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 99V244000
Component: BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:LINES:METALLIC
Manufacturer: DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION
Mfg. Campaign #: 843
Potential Number of Units Affected: 367000
Manufactured From: JUN 1997 To: MAY 1999
Year of Recall: '99
Type of Report: Vehicle
Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. 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 resulting in longer
stopping distances.
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 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 1-800-992-1997. Also
contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

Component: POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC:INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Manufacturer: CHRYSLER CORPORATION
Mfg. Campaign #: 789
Potential Number of Units Affected: 685000
Manufactured From: JUL 1994 To: JAN 1998
Year of Recall: '98
Type of Report: Vehicle
Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.
The adjustment of the cable connecting the console shifter mechanism to the
ignition key can cause a trapped key condition which can result in a low force
required to depress the shift button. A combination of applying a mis-adjusted
release button with a low force attempt to shift out of park with the key in
the locked position, can break the connecting pin in the shifter.
If this happens, the "ignition-park" interlock system will be nonfunctional.
Dealers will inspect for proper operation of the system. Any vehicles that are
not functional after the inspection will have the shift mechanism and cable
replaced with a "self-adjusting" design. Owner notification began October 26,
1998. 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 Chrysler at 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the National Highway Traffic

disengage from its retention hole if the hood is slammed shut.
If this condition occurs simultaneously without engaging the primary latch, the
hood would not be restrained increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Dealers will replace the secondary hood latch spring with a longer end hook
spring.
Owner Notification: Owner notification began July 14, 1997. Owners who take

Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The lower control arm ball joint can
separate due to loss of lubrication.
Separation of the ball joint could cause a loss of steering control increasing
the risk of a vehicle crash.
Dealers will inspect the ball joint end housing cover seal for leakage with a
high pressure air tester and the rubber boot will be visually inspected for
damage. If the cover seal leaks or the boot is damaged, the lower control arm
