Description:
Recall: 1996 Dodge Ram
Component: POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 99V115000
Manufacturer: CHRYSLER CORPORATION
Potential Number of Units Affected: 8800Summary:
Vehicle Description: Pickup trucks equipped with manual transmission, V10
engines and four-wheel-drive transfer cases. Under sustained maximum rated
vehicle load, while driving up a steep grade in four-wheel-drive low range in
hot ambient conditions, the local exhaust temperature proximate to the hydraulic
clutch line can generate line temperatures that exceed the temperature limit of
the clutch line material. If this condition occurs and the clutch is depressed,
the line could rupture.
The fluid could ignite on the hot exhaust possibly resulting in a vehicle fire.
Chrysler has not yet provided a remedy and owner notification schedule for this
campaign.
Owner notification is expected to begin during May-June 1999. Owners who take
their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not
receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chrysler at
1-800-992-1997. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration''s Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
