“I've purchased a 1999 grand voyager and noticed that the driver side strut tower was rotting out and the passenger side was starting to rust as well , but not to the degree as the drivers side.. I looked up and found no recall this situation, but was informed that chrysler ,plymouth , dodge , knew about this since 1996 but did nothing to correct it until 2001.
