NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 98V183000
Component: POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC:INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Manufacturer: CHRYSLER CORPORATION
Year: 1997
Make: CHRYSLER
Model: CIRRUS
Year of Recall: '98
Type of Report: Vehicle
Potential Number of Units Affected: 685000
Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with automatic
transmissions.
The adjustment of the cable connecting the console shifter
mechanism to the
ignition key can cause a trapped key condition which can result in
a low force
required to depress the shift button. A combination of applying a
mis-adjusted
release button with a low force attempt to shift out of park with
the key in the
locked position, can break the connecting pin in the shifter.
If this happens, the "ignition-park" interlock system will be
nonfunctional.
Dealers will inspect for proper operation of the system. Any
vehicles that are
not functional after the inspection will have the shift mechanism
and cable
replaced with a "self-adjusting" design.
Owner notification is expected to begin during December 1998.
Owners who take
their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service
date and do not
receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact
Chrysler at
1-800-992-1997. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT
(1-888-327-4236).
NOTE: I looked at 1997 Chrysler, affected cirrus and sebring, '97 dodge
stratus, '96 stratus...
SO: The only thing I found for the '97 Dak was the inadvertant deploy
of the air bag system, passenger
side.
