Continued operation can result in propeller shaft separation and damage to fuel system components, which could lead to a fuel leak. Fluid and/or fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can cause an underbody fire.
On certain pickup trucks, the transfer case to transmission attaching fasteners may not be tightened correctly. This could cause the transmission adapter or transfer case housing to crack and leak fluid.
Dealers will retighten the transfer case to transmission fasteners. Owner notification began on December 22, 2003. Owners should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-992-1997.
