Risk: These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment.

Vehicles that have had their driver side frontal air bag replaced previously need to have their air bag replaced under this recall as well.
Steering
Problem: On certain vehicles, the right front steering knuckle may have been improperly manufactured. Because of a broken cooling line, parts cast in tool cavity #63 on july 18 and july 19, 2006, may have a cold shut condition and could fracture.
Risk: This could cause a loss of steering control and result in a crash without warning.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the recalled vehicles to identify the defective parts and replace if they are within that lot. The recall began on november 8, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Power train:automatic transmission
Problem: On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the software programmed into the powertrain control module can cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels if the vehicle is traveling over 40 mph and the operator shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive.
Risk: If the drive wheels locked up, loss of vehicle control could occur increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module free of charge. The recall began on october 2, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
