- Summary
- On certain trucks equipped with rear air conditioning system, the interior lamp is equipped with an 18W lamp and a scattering lens. In extremely hot and humid conditions, the combination of heat and humidity, and the heat from the lamp due to extreme long term operation, can distort the scattering lens.
- Consequence
- The switching contacts of the lamp may cause a short circuit of the rear lamp increasing the risk of a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the rear interior lamps free of charge with a modified version which is not subject to the impacts of heat and humidity. The recall began on December 17, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler manufacturing international at 1-843-695-5041.

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.
