RAM 1500 Truck 2WD V6-3.9L VIN X (1999)
Heat Shield: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 99V190000: Hydraulic Clutch Line Heat Shield
The underbody hydraulic clutch line heat shield is too short, allowing the plastic clutch line material to be directly exposed to exhaust temperatures. It is
possible to exceed the melting temperature of the clutch line material.
If the line melts, hydraulic fluid can leak onto the vehicle exhaust and cause an underbody fire.
Dealers will install the proper length heat shield. Owner notification began August 9, 1999. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an
agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chrysler at 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
