Component: Suspension > Front > Control Arm > Upper Ball Joint
Manufacturer: Daimlerchrysler Corporation
Description:
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.
Consequencs:
Excessive wear in the upper ball joint may allow it to separate, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
Notes:
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.

Description:
Certain replacement k&n fuel performance kits, p/nos. 57-1509, 57-1511, 57-1511-1, 57-1517, 57-1517-1, 57-1527, and 57-1530. also, a small percentage of these kits were sold under the mopar performance parts brand name (p/nos. p5007069 and p5007070). all kits were manufactured from april 20, 1999, through september 23, 2004. these assemblies were manufactured as replacement equipment for certain dodge pickup trucks and suvs. a small piece of material from the tube wall could be sucked into the engine throttle body, which could cause the throttle to become jammed in the open position.
Consequencs:
A jammed open throttle could cause unintended acceleration of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash or increased stoping distances when braking.
Notes:
K&n will provide owners with a free repair kit along with repair instructions. the recall began on april 20, 2006.

Component: Power Train > Automatic Transmission > Lever And Linkage > Column Shift
Manufacturer: Chrysler Llc
Description:
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.
Consequencs:
Either of these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away causing a crash without warning.
Notes:
Dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket assembly free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during january 2008. owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Component: Electrical System
Manufacturer: Daimlerchrysler Corporation
Description:
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.
Consequencs:
This may allow development of a high resistive short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.
Notes:
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.
