Dear Chrysler Motors Car Owner:
It has been determined that your car may be in violation of Emissions Standards. Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels could be above the allowable
limits, which were established to protect the public health and welfare from the dangers of air pollution. For this reason, we are asking you to return your
car -- identified by the Vehicle Identification Number on the enclosed form -- to your dealer for a special service repair. This service will be provided
free of charge.
The needed parts and instructions have been sent to all Chrysler-Plymouth and Dodge dealers. The service will not hurt your engine performance or fuel
economy. Your dealer is ready to serve you now. To obtain this service:
^
Contact your dealer as soon as possible to make an appointment for the free service. We request that you contact the dealer who sold you the
car because the parts for your car have been shipped to the selling dealer. However, if necessary, the service can be arranged for through any
Chrysler-Plymouth or Dodge dealer.
^
Take the enclosed claim form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form is for use by the dealer and by
Chrysler to record completion of the service.
^
The dealer will test your car's fuel injector and replace it if it is defective. The service will take about one-half hour, but additional time may
be required depending on how service work is scheduled and processed.
If you have an problem obtaining the service, please contact the Chrysler Zone Office in your area. (It is listed under "Service Assistance" in your
Operator's Manual.) The Zone Office will arrange for prompt servicing of our vehicle. If you are still unable to obtain the repair as described in this letter
within a reasonable time, you may also contact the Manufacturers Operations Division of the Environmental Protection Agency (EN-340F), 401 M
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.
We regret any inconvenience this action may cause, but trust you understand our interest in clean air and your continuing satisfaction with our product.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.

DEALER SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
EMISSIONS RECALL #397
FUEL INJECTOR
^
Because of the large number of involved cars and a limited number of parts available, the recall will be implemented in two stages. Cars in the
Western
Region (Zones 52, 69, 71, 72, 73 and 74) will be recalled first.
^
It is expected that cars in the remainder of the country will be recalled about two months after the Western Region.
^
Parts will be shipped to dealers in each region prior to the recall starting in that area. Distribution will be made at dealer cost with billing delayed
for 60 days to limit dealer out-of-pocket expense prior to submission of claims.
^
Parts will be available for ordering only by dealers in Zones where the recall has been implemented.
^
A new diagnostic instrument (DRBII (tm)) will be used for this recall. Instruments will be shipped to dealers in time for recall implementation in
their respective areas.
