MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:

Dodge/Durango 2001-2003

MANUFACTURER: DaimlerChrysler Corporation

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V339000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: September 06, 2006

COMPONENT: Electrical System

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 35103

SUMMARY:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with front bench seats only, if fluid is spilled from the floor mounted cup holder, an unused console power outlet connector located under the seat may become contaminated.

CONSEQUENCE:
This may allow development of a high resistive short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.

REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the console wiring connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent additional fluid from contaminating the connector free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

DaimlerChrysler recall No. F42. Customers may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
