NHTSA recall 06V149000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.7 liter engines and mk25e braking systems may exhibit inadequate clearance between the rear brake tubes and the exhaust gas recirculation tube. Contact between the brake tubes and exhaust gas recirculation tube over an extended period of time may cause the brake tubes to wear through and cause a brake fluid leak.
Why it matters: This can result in a decrease of braking force and the potential for an engine compartment fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear brake tubes for damage and replace them free of charge. A clip will also be installed to secure the brake tubes to the right front shock tower to maintain proper clearance to the exhaust gas recirculation tube. The recall began on June 26, 2006.
