On certain vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid system, a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire.

Vehicles affected: 15,158
On certain vehicles, the door on the storage bin in the top centre of the instrument panel may not remain closed during an impact, and could result in personal injuries. Owners will receive a latch reinforcement, and with instructions to install it or to have their dealers install it.

On certain vehicles, the left rear axle shaft could fracture and result in loss of driving power to the rear wheels. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts as necessary.
2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500
Vehicles affected: 30
On certain vehicles, the left rear springs may fail earlier than designed, due to incorrect raw material used in the manufacturing process. Dealers will replace the rear axle leaf springs.

Vehicles affected: 700
Certain vehicles equipped with the ââ¬ÅKeyless Goââ¬Â option fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 114. If the remote entry transmitter is removed from the vehicle prior to pressing the stop/start button, the instrument cluster information centre displays a ââ¬Åfob not presentââ¬Â message, and if the stop/start button is pressed and held and the engine is turned off, the electronic key code is removed from the vehicle. Dealers will reprogram the wireless ignition node module on affected vehicles.

On certain vehicles, the windshield and/or the fixed rear quarter glass may have been assembled using incorrect urethane adhesive. This could affect glass retention. Dealers will replace the windshield and/or fixed rear quarter glass on affected vehicles.

On certain vehicles, the tires may have been damaged during transportation, with transit at very low temperature causing cracking of the treads. If the treads are cracked, the tire may fail at high speed. Dealers will inspect the affected tires and replace them if necessary.

I had to laugh at this one " the left rear springs may fail earlier than designed" :blink: you mean they design the thing to fail?? :lol: :lol:
Bad grammar, they should have said "may suffer from premature failure" so that Chrysler doesn't look like it's designing parts to destroy their own cars :D
