| Defect Summary | The abs hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If this condition occurs, the abs function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. also the warranty on all abs components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). owners will also be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | System: brakes; hydraulic; anti-skid system. vehicle description: passenger vehicles and mini-vans equipped with anti-lock brake systems (abs). note: 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 1-800-853-1403. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | 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 Summary | The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | Owner notification began march 9, 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 safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236). | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Rear brake tube routing is contacted by fuel tank heat shield when suspension is in full jounce position. this damages the brake fluid tube, causing a leak. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Loss of fluid from half of the diagonally split brakehydraulic system affects braking capability, which could result in an accident. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Modify heat shield to eliminate potential for shield contacting brake tube. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Replace the abs high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction. | |||||||||||||||
