These fuel pump modules were sold as aftermarket for use in certain DaimlerChrysler vehicles listed above. Silicone material used in manufacture of the flapper valve was out-of-specification, leading to excess swell of the flapper valve restricting the flow of fuel to the fuel pump module.

Fuel restriction could result in loss of power and/or engine stall, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Airtex will notify owners and replace the defective fuel pump modules free of charge. The recall began on October 18, 2006. Owners may contact Airtex toll-free at 1-866-867-3759. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #06E091000 »

1996 DODGE STRATUS -- On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail 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.

Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.

Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on June 14, 2004. Owners should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #04V021000 »

1996 DODGE STRATUS -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The adjustment of the cable connecting the console shifter mechanism to the ignition key can cause a trapped key condition which can result in a low force required to depress the shift button. A combination of applying a mis-adjusted release button with a low force attempt to shift out of park with the key in the locked position, can break the connecting pin in the shifter.

If this happens, the "ignition-park" interlock system will be nonfunctional.

Dealers will inspect for proper operation of the system. Any vehicles that are not functional after the inspection will have the shift mechanism and cable replaced with a "self-adjusting" design.

Dealers will inspect the ball joint end housing cover seal for leakage with a high pressure air tester and the rubber boot will be visually inspected for damage. If the cover seal leaks or the boot is damaged, the lower control arm will be replaced. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #97V201000 »

1996 DODGE STRATUS -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. The secondary hood latch spring can disengage from its retention hole if the hood is slammed shut.

Dealers will replace the secondary hood latch spring with a longer end hook spring. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #97V095000 »

1996 DODGE STRATUS -- The brake master cylinder can leak brake fluid due to a damaged double lip rear piston seal.

Brake fluid leakage can result in diminished effectiveness of one half of the split brake system. The instrument panel warning light(s) will signal system impairment prior to partial brake system loss.

Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylindr piston assembly. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #96V075000 »

1996 DODGE STRATUS -- Corrosion of the ABS hydraulic control unit can cause the solenoid valves to stick in the open position.

If either front wheel valve sticks, the vehicle would swerve from a straight stop when the brakes are applied.

Dealers will install a plate and silicone grease injected into the solenoid cavity to eliminate the potential for this condition. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #96V074000 »

1996 DODGE STRATUS -- In certain vehicles, the engine cylinder head oil galley plug does not seal properly and engine cylinder head oil is not adequately retained.
