***2002 Minivans Some- Recalls ***

from a DC press release:

Auburn Hills, Oct 15, 2002
The Chrysler Group is voluntarily recalling approximately 143,500 (117,415 US/22,864 Canada/3,021 Mexico/156 International) 2002 model-year Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country minivans to inspect a valve on the top of the fuel tank. The recall specifically involves minivans built at the Windsor, Ontario Assembly Plant from September 1, 2001 through March 11, 2002, which represents approximately one-fourth of the 2002 model year production volume.
About half of the vehicles inspected will receive a new fuel tank assembly due to a quality concern involving an improper weld at a fuel tank supplier's plant.

Minivans produced at the St. Louis, Missouri plant do not have this condition and are not affected by this action. The Chrysler Group has received no reports of fires or injuries related to this recall.

Customers will begin receiving notification letters by early November. If owners have questions regarding their minivan they may contact the Chrysler Group Customer Call Center at 1-800-853-1403. Customers who smell fuel or notice any leakage should contact their nearest dealer immediately and arrange for an inspection of the vehicle.
