⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.7L engines only, two valve cover studs may interfere with the fuel injector and alternator wiring harnesses.
💥 The risk
Damage to the alternator wiring harness could result in an under hood fire.

Dealers will add protective caps to the valve cover studs and re-route the affected wiring harness to provide clearance. Owner notification began on july 19, 2004. Owners CAN 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.)
