Recall 02V293000: Clockspring Assembly Replacement

DEFECT: On certain minivans, the clockspring assembly may have been wound incorrectly during the vehicle assembly process. This condition will cause illumination of the air bag warning lamp, and could eventually cause the driver's air bag to become inoperative.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the clockspring assembly on all vehicles with 70,000 miles or less. An extended lifetime warranty will also be given for this component for all affected vehicles, regardless of mileage. DaimlerChrysler will also reimburse owners who have paid to have the clockspring replaced on their vehicles. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began Nov. 18, 2002. Owners should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
