2003 Dodge Viper recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel pump wiring may become chafed by an underbody heat shield.
💥 The risk
This could cause the fuel pump fuse to open, resulting in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a protective wrap on the fuel pump wiring harness and cover the edge of the heat shield. Owner notification began september 9, 2003. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
