Recall 95I001007: Liftgate Latch Defect

Light duty passenger minivans with remote release. This is not a safety recall. There has been no determination that a safety defect exists with the minivan latches. Chrysler is conducting a service campaign to replace the liftgate latch assembly of the affected minivans. In a collision, the rear liftgate latch assembly could open.

If the liftgate latch opens, occupants can be ejected resulting in significantly increased risk of injury or death.Chrysler dealers will replace the liftgate latch with a new stronger latch assembly without charge.

Chrysler began notifying owners of these vehicles in June 1996.

This is not a safety recall. There has been no determination that a safety defect exists with the minivan latches. However, Chrysler has decided to provide a stronger latch without charge. Owners can contact Chrysler at 1-800-MINIVAN (1-800-646-4826).
