First my airbag light came on. Then my controls for my radio on my steering wheel quit working. Then my horn quit working. Then my cruise control quit working. This happened in about a 2 month time. I have been told by a couple of mechanics that there is a recall out for this problem. It seems to have a recall for other Dodge vehicles but not my model. Why?

The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. Ever since June 1, 2001 when the vehicle was purchased, the air bag light illuminates intermittently. Within the last six months, the speed control has become inoperative and shortly afterwards, the horn began to malfunction. Through online research, the contact discovered NHTSA campaign id number 04V480000 (air bags), which was related to some of the issues he was experiencing. The dealer stated that his VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 57 and current mileage was 78,247. Updated 09/10/08. Updated 09/11/08
