- Summary
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Starter assemblies were built with suspect plastic terminal blocks which could develop stress cracks subsequent to their installation onto the body of the starter. Separation of the terminal block from the starter body could potentially allow the un-fused positive terminal to come into contact with an adjacent surface, providing a path to ground.
- Consequence
- This condition could overheat the starter wiring, creating the potential for a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the starter terminal block jumper harness.

Has your Dodge been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
