35,103 Durangos recalled

2003 DODGE DURANGO -- On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with front bench seats only, if fluid is spilled from the floor mounted cup holder, an unused console power outlet connector located under the seat may become contaminated.

This may allow development of a high resistive short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.

Dealers will inspect the console wiring connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent additional fluid from contaminating the connector free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2006. Owners may contact daimler Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

NHTSA Recall #04V596000 SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT

DECEMBER 21
2004

592,707 Durangos recalled

2003 DODGE DURANGO -- On certain sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with four-wheel drive (4X4), if moisture leaks into the front suspension upper ball joint, evacuation of the lubricant and corrosion of the joint may cause the joint to wear over an extended period of time. This could cause a clunking noise in the front suspension, which may not always be heard by the vehicle occupants.

Excessive wear in the upper ball joint may allow it to separate, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.

Dealers will replace the front suspension upper ball joints. This safety improvement campaign began on December 21, 2004. Owners can contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #04V596000 »
