THE HATCHBACK SUPPORT STRUT ON MY CARAVAN FAILED TODAY - THE BOLT THAT SUPPORTS THE STRUT IN THE CAR BODY SHEARED OFF, WHILE THE VEHCILE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE STRUT EXPANDED INSIDE THE CAVITY IN THE BODY AS FAR AS IT COULD ONCE THE BOLT SHEARED. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL (97V079000) IN ABOUT 1997. I KNOW CHRYSLER PERFORMED THE RECALL BECAUSE THE NEW "BIGGER" WASHERS ARE ON THE LIFT SUPPORTS. AS I HAVE NO WAY TO EXAMINE THE BOLTS FOR STRESS CRACKING, THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE I CAN PERFORM TO INSURE THE REAR LIFTGATE WON'T FALL ONTO THE HEAD OF ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A ONE-TIME RECALL FOR CHRYSLER? I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO "FIX" THE SHEARING BOLT PROBLEM, BUT IT IS SURPRISING TO ME THAT IT HAS RETURNED. I THINK...
