EMISSIONS RECALL
1989 CHRYSLER PASSENGER CAR WITH A 2.2L OR 2.5L FUEL INJECTED ENGINE OPERATED IN HIGH ALTITUDE AREAS
Dear Chrysler Vehicle Owner:
The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that your 1989 Chrysler vehicle, with a 2.2 liter or 2.5 liter fuel injected engine, automatic
transmission and located at high altitude, may be in violation of Federal Emissions Standards. Carbon monoxide levels could be above the allowable
limits which were established to protect the public health from the dangers of air pollution. For this reason, we are asking you to return your vehicle -
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 instructions and parts have been sent to all Dodge and Chrysler/Plymouth dealers. The service will not hurt your engine performance or fuel
economy. To obtain this free service:
^
Contact your dealer to make a service appointment.
^
Take the Engine Owner Notification Form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form identifies the vehicle and
recall for which service is required.
^
The dealer will replace the engine computer. The service will take about one half hour, but additional time may be required depending on how
service appointments are scheduled and processed.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle under Federal law, and your right to participate in
future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be a lack of
proper maintenance of your vehicle. Further, without this repair your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test.
If you have any problem obtaining the service, please call the Chrysler Customer Center, toll free, at (800) 853-1403. A representative will assist you in
getting your vehicle repaired. 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 (6405J), 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 in your continuing satisfaction with our product.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
