600 L4-135 2.2L SOHC Turbo (1985)
The potential for fuel leakage is affected by cold temperatures. Therefore, vehicle owners located in cold climate areas are especially urged to obtain the
service without delay. If you notice fuel odor or any sign of a fuel leak from the engine of your car, please contact your dealer immediately for the repair.
The repair involves replacement of a short engine compartment hose connecting the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel rail. Leakage can occur at the
ends of this hose if it becomes stiff due to cold temperatures and aging of the hose material. If this happens, leaking fuel may result in an engine
compartment fire which could be hazardous to vehicle occupants. Your dealer will install a longer, more flexible hose to correct the condition.
The repair can be completed in about one half hour. To obtain this free service:
^
Contact your dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. We ask that you call the dealer who sold you the car if convenient. However,
if necessary, the service can be performed by any Dodge or Chrysler-Plymouth dealer.
^
Take the enclosed Owner Recall 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.
If you have any problem obtaining the needed service, please contact the Chrysler Zone Office in your area. (It is listed under "Service Assistance" in
your Operator's Manual.) A Zone representative will arrange for prompt servicing of your car.
We regret any inconveience which this action may cause you. However, we believe that you understand our concern for motor vehicle safety, and for
your continued satisfaction with our products. If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge within a reasonable time, you may
submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the Toll Free
Number 1-800-424-9393.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
