Known issues on the 2003 Express 2500. Eight recalls attach to the 2003 Express 2500, and three of them shape how one of these vans comes into a shop. One begins with water entering the rear license plate lamp socket: the corroded socket can overheat until the plastic softens, smokes and eventually ignites at the rear doors. Another covers front and rear belt buckles that will not latch or will not release, leaving an occupant unrestrained in a crash. A third involves an out-of-specification bore in the brake hydro-boost housing that can fracture the valve seal and raise the pedal effort needed to stop. The 127 owner complaints break down with 21 against the electrical system, 17 against the fuel system and 14 against the service brakes.
