• Tire valve failure investigation # PE04066

  Odi opened pe04-066 to investigate five complaints alleging tire valve failure in my 2003-04 subject vehicles.Some of the complaints alleged multiple tire valve failures for a single vehicle.On december 16, 2004, daimlerchrysler manufacturing international (dcmi) notified nhtsa of a safety defect in approximately 23,000 my 2002-05 sprinter 2500 vehicles equipped with tr-600 tire valves produced by alligator ventilfabrick gmbh (recall 04v-600).The notification identified the chemical specification of the rubber components and an unstable supplier production process, which resulted in inadequate mixing of the rubber components, as the factors contributing to this defect.As a result of these factors, cracks can develop within the rubber part or between the metal and the rubber parts of the valve stem, which can lead to a loss of air pressure at the valve stem and may pose a risk to motor vehicle safety.Although the tr-600 tire valve is used only on the 2500 series subject vehicles with 16 inch tires, dcmi will conduct a safety recall for all sprinter 2500 vehicles sold in the u.S. To replace the current tire valves with a tr-600 valve, which uses a single rubber component for the valves.All 24 complaints and all 43 warranty claims identified in this investigation involved my 2002-04 sprinter 2500 vehicles, which comprise approximately 84 percent of the subject vehicle population.

The t21 recall has completely ruined my perfectly maintained and stable work vehicle. Initially after having the recall done it left my battery dead as it left components running...It has been in and out of the shop for 5 months since the recall they keep throwing fixes at it which never seem to work! They have replaced the instrument cluster, egr, 2 pcms, and numerous other parts. It still has no power and surges and is blowing black smoke out of the exhaust. There needs to be a recall for the t21 recall as my van is still broken and no can seem to fix it. I am disappointed you would force a recall without proper investigation first. My van is useless now and its cost me 1000's of dollars in lost work!

I did the t21 recall update to the pcm and have had check engine light on, then it died and had it towed to the greatest sprinter mechanics in my area. This was after the dealership cleared codes the first time my check engine light came on. Towing from insurance made me pay the difference in mileage from the dealership. Had t21 recall finished june 22, 2018, and again today after picking my van up from my trusted mechanics thursday( who only work on sprinters and could not find the issue) and again check engine light comes on. I have had no issues with my van until this stupid update.. I will never trust your recalls ever again. From what i am reading, you guys don't care of the cost and burden it puts on us who have complications after this pcm update. So, when me and my quadriplegic son get stuck somewhere, are you going to help us? Pathetic company and stupid recall. Nothing like driving three times since the update to take my time out of my day, stress about not having an accessible vehicle for our use, and everybody shrugging their shoulders. Yes, simply accelerating from a stop light must be really hard on my engine with only 124k miles.! What are you going to do to help those of us with manufacturing vins up to july of 2004? You are obviously thinking all encompassing pcm updates are needed but how about you think about the difference in models from within the year. Or is that too much thinking from your own brain and the computer didn't tell you what to do?

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 dodge sprinter. The contact stated that the vehicle consistently misfired.

The vehicle was not diagnosed and was not being driven due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and assigned a case manager who was to respond within one business day. The contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was not available. *tt consumer stated today is august 10,2018 and we are still attempting to resolve our recall t-21 of sprinter 2004. Although it has taken 3 month to even attempt to get this recall resolved. We went ti have the situation solved on aug 7. Now after a service manager asked his own personal computer to do the update... We now have a "check engine" light on- still not resolved many poor excuses from cia- case# 3646736668.

Received t-21 recall notice for 2004 sprinter 2500. Took to dealership we were sent to by dodge (fiat). Dealership did the required software upgrade to the ecu - result was that the entire electrical system is trashed. They replaced 2 modules and that did not fix the problem. Pcm is not shutting down the modules and relays and all circuits stay open after the engine is shut off. This is causing the battery to be completely drained in a short time period. Our van is useless to us - can't drive it anywhere and dodge (we filed a complaint over 4 weeks ago) and the dealership refuse to fix the problem. Dealership wanted $2,600 to replace the pcm and they were not certain that will fix the problem. They also never cleared the codes as required by the recall (for the mass air flow sensor issue). We have invested a tremendous amount of time (had to take the van back to dealership three times already) and don't know what else to do.
