DECEMBER 2007 --
Chrysler is recalling
576,418 MY 2001-2002
Dakota, Durango, Ram van
and MY 2002 Ram pick-up
trucks equipped with
automatic transmissions.
The ignition/park shift
interlock system may
become inoperative. This
can allow the shifter to
be moved out of the
"park" position with the
ignition key removed (or
in the "lock" position).
This can also allow the
ignition key to be
removed when the shifter
has not been placed in
the "park" position.
Either of these
conditions could allow
the vehicle to roll away
causing a crash without
warning. Dealers will
replace the gearshift
blocker and bracket
assembly. The recall is
expected to begin during
January 2008. 07V-555

NEWS:
Dodge Trucks Recalled
WASHINGTON (AP) — Dec 7, 2007 - Chrysler LLC said Friday it is recalling nearly 600,000 Dodge trucks and vans to address concerns that the vehicles could shift out of park without the key in the ignition.
The recall affects 576,417 2001-2002 Dodge Dakota trucks, Dodge Durango sport utility vehicles and Dodge Ram vans and the 2002 Dodge Ram pickup. In some cases, long-term wear on the gearshift assembly could erode the height of the shift blocker, creating the potential for the vehicle to shift out of park.
Chrysler spokesman Max Gates said there have been nine incidents involving injuries connected to the issue. No fatalities have been reported, he said in an e-mail.
Owners will be notified beginning in January 2008 and dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket assembly.
In the interim, vehicle owners are advised to use the parking brake at all times when the vehicle is not in use, Gates said.

Chrysler recalls Dodge
Ram 1500 pickups
WASHINGTON --
September 6, 2006
-- Chrysler said
Wednesday it was
recalling about 145,000
2006 Dodge Ram 1500
pickups to replace the
passenger air bag pack
and reprogram the air
bags computer system.
The automaker said it
would also replace the
front passenger seat
belt assembly in the
same vehicles because it
may not allow an owner
to properly secure a
limited number of child
restraint systems. The
assembly will be
replaced in the recalled
pickups plus about
15,000 additional Ram
pickups from the same
model year.
