FYI: I just received this notice thru a notification service

Campaign Number: 01V313000
Date: Oct-04-2001

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles used extensively in track type racing events and subjected to aggressive driving conditions could experience cracking of the steering rack mounting brackets.

The cracks could eventually lead to separation of the steering rack from the frame of the vehicle. Separation of the steering rack could result in unexpected steering looseness and lag.

All affected vehicles will have a field repair kit installed, consisting of lower frame rail reinforcement gussets and a reinforcement bracket. DaimlerChrysler has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners who do not receive the free information within a reasonable time should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
