Chrysler Intrepid Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and a floor-mounted shifter, the ignition-park interlock may become defeated and allow the shifter to be moved out of the Park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the Park position. This may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning. Correction: Dealer will inspect the function of the ignition-park interlock system. Vehicles found with functional interlock systems will have a load-limiting push rod installed into the floor shifter lever. Vehicles with a non-functional ignition-park interlock system will have the shifter assembly replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the driver seat recliner bolts could break which would allow the seat back to recline unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. Correction: Dealer will replace the recliner bolts with new shoulder bolt and, for vehicles with power driver seats built through January 2000, the recliner tracks will be realigned and a longer recliner driveshaft will be installed to prevent disengagement.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder piston retainer snap ring may have been bent inward during the assembly process. The master cylinder piston may be in the "brake applied" position due to the damaged snap ring. When the piston is in the applied position, the fluid compensation ports are closed which results in a brake drag condition which could cause brake system overheating, brake fade and increased stopping distance. Correction: Master cylinder will be replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the adjustable turning loop on the shoulder belt top mounting bolt may have been manufactured with a core hardness that exceeds the specification for this type of application. Due to the excessive core hardness, these mounting bolts may not withstand the force required to function properly in certain impact situations, increasing the risk of injury to a belted occupant. Correction: The upper adjustable turning loop bolt will be replaced with a bolt of proper hardness.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the molding flash on the primary lever may prevent operation of the deceleration lock and tilt lock functions of the driver's side retractor. If this should occur in a frontal crash situation, driver protection from the seat belt may be reduced, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Left front retractor assemblies will be replaced on affected vehicles.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the passenger side air bag inflator assembly contains an incorrect inflator charge. This condition could increase the risk of a passenger occupant injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Passenger air bag modules will be replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the lower control arm attaching brackets may crack due to fatigue and cause the lower control arm to separate from the engine cradle. If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft may pull out of the transaxle and result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a motor vehicle accident. Correction: Engine cradle will be reinforced at the point of attachment to the lower control arm.
Summary
Certain Spirit and Acclaim with a 2.5 litre flex-fuel engine and Intrepid with a 3.3 litre flex-fuel engine do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 1101 - Emission Device. The methanol fuel sensor may fail due to grounding of the circuit board and a software problem. Correction: An improved methanol concentration sensor will be installed on affected vehicles.
Summary
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.5 LITRE ENGINE. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM MAY LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING "O-RINGS" OR FROM HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOPLASTIC FUEL INJECTION RAIL. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE SUCH A CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. CORRECTION: THE NITRILE RUBBER "O-RINGS" WILL BE REPLACED WITH "O-RINGS" MADE OF AN IMPROVED MATERIAL. THE FUEL RAIL WILL ALSO BE EVALUATED AND REPLACED AS REQUIRED.
Summary
THE "NITRILE" RUBBER COMPOUND "O-RINGS" USED TO SEAL THE INTERFACE OF THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL SUPPLY, RETURN AND CROSS OVER TUBES MAY DEGRADE AND ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL WILL BE REPLACED WITH A RAIL THAT CONTAINS THE 1994 STYLE FLUOROCARBON ""O-RINGS" AT THE FUEL SUPPLY, RETURN AND CROSS OVER TUBES.
