Here is the recall for the sliding doors.
Safety Recall K14
Power Sliding Door Wiring
2008-2009 (RT) Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country
NOTE: This repair procedure applies only to the above vehicles equipped with power sliding doors (sales codes JRA and JRB).
The right and/or left power sliding door wiring harnesses on about 284,000 of the above vehicles may chafe on the sliding door hinge when operating the sliding door. This could cause the sliding door latch to overheat and cause a fire inside the sliding door.
The power sliding door wiring harness and the drive motor wiring harness must be inspected for damage and repaired/replaced as necessary. The two harnesses must then be tie strapped together and routed under the sliding door weather strip and a tab/wedge installed on each sliding door lower hinge bracket.
Models IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer used vehicle inventory. Dealers should complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
