DAIMLERCHRYSLER issued a recall on the DAKOTA model

Certain vehicles may have been built with inadequate clearance between the left front brake tube and the power steering hose. This could result in the power steering hose contacting and wearing a hole in the brake tube. Perforation of the left front brake tube will result a partial brake system failure and a loss of braking force at the front wheels. Correction: Brake tube and power steering hose will be inspected for wear and replaced if necessary. A power steering stand off bracket will also be installed to ensure adequate clearance between the brake tube and the power steering hose.
