Below are recalls from DaimlerChrysler for the month of September 2006 reported by the NHTSA.

DaimlerChrysler is recalling 35,103 MY 2001-2003 Dodge Durango sport utility vehicles equipped with front bench seats only. If fluid is spilled from the floor mounted cup holder, an unused console power outlet connector located under the seat may become contaminated. This may allow development of a high resistive short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire. Dealers will inspect the console wiring connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent additional fluid from contaminating the connector free of charge. This recall was the subject of an Engineering Analysis, EA06-011, conducted by the Office of Defects Investigation. 06V-339.

DaimlerChrysler is recalling 144,750 MY 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup trucks for failing to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, 'Occupant Crash Protection.’ The passenger air bag may deploy with excessive force when certain model rear facing child seats are installed in the right front passenger seat position. This can increase the risk of injury to a child seat occupant during certain crash conditions. Dealers will replace the passenger air bag cushion and reprogram the occupant restraint controller. The recall is expected to begin during October 2006. This recall was the subject of an investigation conducted by the Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance. 06V-353.

This can increase the risk of injury to a child seat occupant in the event of a crash. Dealers will replace the front passenger seat belt. The recall is expected to begin during October 2006. This recall was the subject of an investigation conducted by the Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance. 06V-354.
