Summary
On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal pivot bearing bushings may dislodge from the pedal bushing bearing pockets and cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick. Even though these vehicles are equipped with "Smart Brake technology", where the engine controller is designed to reduce engine power when a disagreement between the throttle and the brake exists, the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death still exist. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
Summary
Certain vehicles fail to comply with CMVSS 108 - Lighting Systems & Retroreflective Devices. The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) were not properly configured during vehicle assembly and, as a result, may not be functional. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, update the DRL configuration.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the length of the rear wheel hub mounting bolts may prevent proper actuation of the park brake. This could allow unintended movement of the vehicle under certain conditions and cause a crash without warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear wheel hub mounting bolts and brake cable equalizer, and adjust the park brake system.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module software may cause the rear brakes to lock-up during certain braking conditions. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ABS electronic control unit.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the owner's manual does not contain information concerning a higher risk of rollover and special features for occasional off-road operation. Canadian regulations in this area differ from those in the United States and thus Canadian vehicles are not out of compliance. However, the visor label does refer to the owner's manual for further higher risk rollover information, therefore, DaimlerChrysler will mail an addendum card for insertion into the owner's manual. A bilingual visor label will also be included as part of this mailing for use as required.
