Recall:

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 03V503

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 04V221

Potential Number of Units Affected: 514

Potential Number of Units Affected: 6,183

Summary: On certain pickup trucks, the transfer case to transmission attaching fasteners may not be tightened correctly. This could cause the transmission adapter or transfer case housing to crack and leak fluid. Continued operation can result in propeller shaft separation and damage to fuel system components, which could lead to a fuel leak. Fluid and/or fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can cause an underbody fire.

Summary: Certain pickup trucks fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles other than Passenger Cars." The vehicle certification label lists incorrect tire, wheel, and recommended inflation pressure information.

Remedy: Dealers will retighten the transfer case to transmission fasteners. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on December 22, 2003. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-992-1997.

Remedy: Owners will be provided with vehicle certification label overlays containing corrected information relative to vehicle tire and rim size, and recommended inflation pressure. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on May 5, 2004. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
