Effective immediately all repairs on involved vehicles are to be performed

NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine ("V" in the 8th VIN Position) built from February 5, 2008 through March
14, 2008 (MDH 020506 through 031423).
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles
before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in
for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The engine wiring harness on about 5,900 of the above vehicles may chafe on the left transaxle mount. This could cause a short circuit and result in an
engine compartment fire.
Repair
The engine wiring harness must be inspected for damage, repaired if necessary and rerouted away from the left transaxle mount.
Parts Information
Due to the likelihood that the required plastic tie straps are already in your parts inventory, no plastic tie straps will be distributed initially. The following
plastic tie strap is available as required.
Completion Reporting and Reimbursement
Claims for vehicles that have been serviced must be submitted on the
DealerCONNECT Claim Entry Screen located on the Service tab. Claims
submitted will be used by Chrysler to record recall service completions and provide dealer payments.
