2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser Recalls

The 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser has 7 recalls, with the most serious being multiple fire risks tied to fuel and power steering fluid leaks that can ignite under the hood or during a rollover.

Two separate fuel system issues can cause leaks: the fuel supply line can chafe against the air conditioning tube service port and wear through, and the fuel pump module flange can crack in a frontal collision or leak in a rollover. Either condition can expose fuel to an ignition source and start a fire. On vehicles with the 2.4L non-turbocharged engine and automatic transmission, the high-pressure power steering hose can rub against the transmission differential cover, wear through, and spray fluid onto hot engine components, also creating a fire risk. The remaining recall involves the right rear center child seat anchor, which was made with a wire slightly too thick to meet federal standards, meaning a clip-style child restraint may not attach securely and could fail to hold the child in a crash.

What can fail

The high-pressure power steering hose may contact the automatic transaxle differential cover due to routing variation, causing damage. This can lead to power steering fluid leakage that may ignite under the hood.
