However, the 2000 and 2002, Plymouth grand Voyagers did have safety recalls for condensation from the instrument panel air conditioning ducks which may drop through vent holes in the top of the radio, resulting in a short circuit that subsequently sent direct current to the rear speakers. This could result in a speaker fire due to a short circuiting of the wiring that leads to the rear speaker potentially causing a fire. " the contact stated that her insurance agent determined that the source of the fire was the connector between the radio and speaker.
