The problem

The risk

Without these lamps, other vehicle operators may not detect the increased width of the vehicle which could cause a crash without warning.

Dealers will install cab clearance lights free of charge. The recall began on march 20, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
