If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass.

Summary
Certain vehicles may have a malfunctioning brake switch. This could allow the shifter lever to be shifted out of the PARK (P) position while the ignition is in the RUN mode without depressing the brake pedal, resulting in unintended vehicle movement. As a result, the rear lights could also remain illuminated, causing the following road users to be unaware of the driver’s intention. These situations could increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective brake switch.
Summary
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with an incorrectly manufactured right rear hub and bearing assembly. Hub failure could result in wheel separation. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, stationary object, or bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the right rear hub and bearing assembly.
Summary
On certain vehicles the left or right front supplemental airbag sensors may crack under certain conditions, which can allow water to enter into the sensor. This can cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate. A malfunction of one or both of the supplemental sensors will not adversely affect safety or cause a failure to comply with government standards. The single-point sensor in these vehicles, which is located in the airbag control module, is operational even if both supplemental sensors are inoperative. DaimlerChrysler has decided to launch a Customer Satisfaction Notification to advise customers that these front airbag sensors will be replaced with redesigned sensors to reduce the potential for damage. This action is not being conducted under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the front windshield wiper motor armature shaft may break which could result in a loss of front windshield wiping capability. This could impair the driver's vision and cause a crash without warning. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front windshield wiper motor.
Summary
On certain vehicles subject to conditions involving extreme heat and humidity, condensation from the instrument panel air conditioning ducts may drip through the vent holes in the top of the base equipment radio and results in a short circuit that subsequently sends direct current to the rear speakers. This could result in a speaker fire. Correction: Dealers will apply a special tape to the top of the radio to eliminate the potential for water intrusion.
Summary
On certain vehicles, increased clockspring terminal resistance or a back-winding condition of the clockspring may cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate. Until the problem is remedied, the drivers airbag will not deploy as required in a frontal crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the clockspring assembly on vehicles with less than 115 000 kms. Owners of vehicles with over 115 000 kms will be offered extended lifetime warranty on the clockspring.
Summary
On certain minivans equipped with a 3.3L or 3.8L engine, the upper power steering cooler hose could split, causing a fluid leak. Power steering fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underhood fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the upper power steering hose.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat belt retractor may have been improperly assembled. During a severe frontal impact, there is a possibility that the seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant which can increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealer will inspect the retractor assembly, and replace if necessary.
