On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.4 liter non-turbo engines and automatic transaxles. Routing variation in the high-pressure power steering hose 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 torque of the hose fastener at the steering gear end. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners should contact Daimler Chrysler at 1-800-853-1408.

Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 4-wheel Antilock Braking System (ABS), 2.4 liter high output turbocharged engine, and 5-speed manual transaxle, may exhibit inadequate clearance between the left front brake tube and the transaxle housing.

Contact between the brake tube and the transaxle housing over an extended period of time may eventually lead to perforation of the brake tube, which could lead to a loss of braking force in the left front/right rear circuit of vehicle.

Dealers will install revised brake tubes. The recall began during October 2004. Owners should contact Daimler Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
