HOWEVER, NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE FIRE, BUT THAT FIRE SPREAD TO THE 3RD ROW SEAT, AND THE REAR DRIVER 'S SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED. THE HEADLINER OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EQUIPMENT WAS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. HOWEVER, THE 2000 AND 2002, PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGERS DID HAVE SAFETY RECALLS FOR CONDENSATION FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AIR CONDITIONING DUCKS WHICH MAY DROP THROUGH VENT HOLES IN THE TOP OF THE RADIO, RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT SUBSEQUENTLY SENT DIRECT CURRENT TO THE REAR SPEAKERS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SPEAKER FIRE DUE TO A SHORT CIRCUITING OF THE WIRING THAT LEADS TO THE REAR SPEAKER POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FIRE." THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER INSURANCE AGENT DETERMINED THAT THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE WAS THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE RADIO AND SPEAKER. DAIMLER CHRYSLER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH REFERENCE NUMBER 15815602 FOR THIS COMPLAINT. *AK

FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
