Recalls are “enforced” repairs – the manufacturer must do them – whereas service bulletins are “optional” – dealers can charge you. For recall related questions call 800 853 1403.

2002 PT Cruisers have been recalled for a computer software upgrade which will prevent the instrument panel from suddenly being darkened. No accidents have been reported. The upgrade should take a few minutes.

Early Cruisers were recalled to add child seat information to the manuals.

2001 and 2002 PT Cruisers were recalled to install a secondary seal to the top of the fuel pump module. A fuel leak was detected during an inspection following a government crash test. There are no known incidents or complaints related to this issue.

Approximately one-quarter of these vehicles also will be recalled for a separate safety issue involving the underhood fuel supply line. The line may rub against the air conditioning service port, which could result in a fuel leak. While this is unlikely to occur, Chrysler will attach a clip to the fuel line to prevent contact. There may have been around eight fires due to this – all seemingly occuring after the recall notices went out and vehicles had time to be serviced
