The 2002 Dodge Caravan has 4 recalls, the most serious being two fire risks: a power steering cooler hose on vehicles with the 3.3L or 3.8L V-6 engine can split and leak fluid onto hot engine components, and condensation from the air conditioning ducts can drip into the radio and cause a short circuit that ignites the rear speakers.
The child seat recall is a compliance issue: the owner's manual does not identify which seating positions have tether anchorages and child restraint anchor points, which means a child seat may not be secured correctly in a crash, raising the risk of injury to a child occupant.
