Transport Canada recall 2008117 · manufacturer campaign H07

4 April 2008

Transport Canada lists: Sebring 2007–2008 · Avenger 2007–2008

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a standard Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), unused electrical connectors for a second type of TPMS may become corroded and could short circuit. This could cause a variety of conditions including engine no-start, dead battery, an inoperative cruise control or remote start system, and/or engine stalling. Engine stalling, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash, causing personal injury or death.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will remove unused TPMS connectors, and protect their circuits.

Transport Canada lists: Sebring 2007–2008 · Avenger 2007–2008

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine, the coolant overflow from the recovery bottle may be drawn into the left radiator cooling fan motor connector. This can cause an electrical short circuit and could result in an engine compartment fire.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the connector for contamination or damage, install a wiring harness overlay and, if necessary, replace the fan motor.

Transport Canada lists: Avenger 2008

What is wrong

On certain all-wheel drive vehicles, the fuel tank straps were improperly manufactured and could separate. This can cause the fuel tank to loosen and leak fuel. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.

17 September 2007

Transport Canada lists: Avenger 2008

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front door latch cable may become partially unseated from the interior release handle housing. This may cause the latch to stick in the unlatched position or the lock-function to become inoperative. Attempting to drive a vehicle with a door in the unlatched position can result in increased risk of injury to an unbelted front seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will add a secondary retention feature to both front doors.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2007183 · manufacturer campaign G14

7 June 2007

Transport Canada lists: Sebring 2007–2008 · Avenger 2008

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front seat track position sensors utilized for the airbag system may not function properly. Sensor information is used to lessen inflation pressure for smaller statured occupants who may be seated in close proximity to the airbag. Failure of the seat track position sensors causes the airbag deployment to default to full inflation pressure regardless of the seat position. Full deployment could increase the risk of injury for smaller statured seat occupants in a frontal crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the front seat track position sensors and replace them if necessary.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front door latch cable may become partially unseated from the interior release handle housing, causing the latch to become stuck in the open position.

What the dealer will do
