Recall information provided by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Component not known
04V268
On certain vehicles equipped with 2.4L non-turbo engines and automatic transaxles, the high pressure power steering hose routing could allow contact with the automatic transaxle differential cover, potentially damaging the hose. Power steering fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an under hood fire.
Dealers will inspect and relocate, or replace as necessary, the power steering hose and confirm the torque of the hose fastener at the steering gear end. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
