NHTSA recall 04V481000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 4-wheel antilock braking system (ABS), 2.4L high output turbocharged engine, and 5-speed manual transaxle, may exhibit inadequate clearance between the left front brake tube and the transaxle housing.
Why it matters: Contact between the brake tube and the transaxle housing over an extended period of time may eventually lead to perforation of the brake tube, which could lead to a loss of braking force in the left front/right rear circuit of vehicle.
The fix: Dealers will install revised brake tubes. The recall began October 25, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
