RAM 3500 Truck 2WD V10-8.0L VIN W HDC (2000)
Circuit Breaker: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 01V253000: Circuit Breaker Defect
Vehicle Description: Vans and wagons. In the presence of road salt, water, and possibly other debris, the power seat connector located beneath the
driver's seat could develop a high resistive short circuit that cycles the circuit breaker.
If the circuit breaker cycles for an extended period of time, a sufficient amount of heat could build up in the connector, possibly resulting in a fire.
Owners will receive instructions for removing the circuit breaker from the fuse panel. If an owner desires, their dealer can perform the repair.
Owner notification is expected to begin during August 2001. 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 DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
