Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger and multi-purpose vehicles originally sold in (or are currently registered in) the States of Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, or Wisconsin, and
the District of Columbia. The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." If the rotors
are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
Owner notification began March 9, 1998. 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).
