Safety recall campaigns filed with NHTSA that cover this model year

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Open investigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

122 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES BUILT ON DODGE CHASSIS, THE ISOLATOR WIRE FROM THE CHASSIS BATTERY IS LYING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK BRACKET AND COULD POSSIBLY RUB THROUGH THE WIRE INSULATION.
The risk: THIS COULD CAUSE THE WIRE TO SHORT OUT OR ARC.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIRE AND RE-ROUTE THE WIRE OVER A RUBBER HOSE ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WIRE INSULATION RUBBING THROUGH. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY OR AUGUST 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT LEISURE TRAVEL VANS AT 1-877-288-8088.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
