Owner Letter
SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE YOUR VEHICLE'S ROLLOVER VALVE
Dear Ram Truck Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Chrysler Corporation has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1994 through 1996 Dodge Ram trucks equipped
with a gasoline engine.
The problem is...
The fuel tank rollover valve on your Ram truck (identified on the enclosed form), may allow liquid gasoline to pass through to the vapor canister. This
could result in driveability problems, fuel odor and/or fuel leakage from the vapor canister. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source, could
cause an underbody fire which could be hazardous to vehicle occupants.
What Chrysler and your dealer will do...
Chrysler will repair your Ram truck free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace the fuel tank rollover valve. The work will take
about 1-1/2 hours to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed.
