Recall:
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 03V033
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 03V212

Summary: Certain pickup trucks equipped with Cummins diesel engines and manual transmissions may experience an elevated idle speed after extended cruise control use. This can result in unintended acceleration and a reduction in braking effectiveness.
Summary: On certain heavy-duty pickup trucks, the aluminum wheels may have excessive porosity in the center hub area, which can cause a wheel to crack. This could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in a crash without warning.
Summary: On some van and wagon model vehicles equipped with 4-wheel antilock brake systems (ABS), aftermarket batteries may leak electrolyte onto the ABS control module connector, which can compromise the sealing integrity of the connector. This may allow development of a short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will reprogram the software in the Cummins engine controller. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during March 2003. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the wheels and replace them if necessary. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on June 17, 2003. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-992-1997.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the ABS control module connector for electrolyte damage and replace the connector as necessary. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification for this campaign. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
