The problem
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 Dodge grand caravan and Chrysler town & country passenger vehicles manufactured from February 2007 through September 2009. Some of the vehicles May have been built with an improperly routed wire harness that May have a condition where the lower sliding door hinge bracket can make contact and wear through the wire insulation.
The risk
A short circuit could occur inside the sliding door, overheating the latch, possibly resulting in a fire.
The fix
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on November 15, 2010. Owners May contact Chrysler toll-free at 1-800-853-1403.
