2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 4-WHEEL antilock braking system (ABS), 2.4L high output turbocharged engine, and 5-SPEED manual transaxle, may exhibit inadequate clearance between the left front brake tube and the transaxle housing.
💥 The risk
Contact between the brake tube and the transaxle housing over an extended period of time may eventually lead to perforation of the brake tube, which could lead to a loss of braking force in the left front/right rear circuit of vehicle.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install revised brake tubes. The recall began october 25, 2004. 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.)
