Dealer Notification and Vehicle List
All dealers will receive a copy of this Customer Satisfaction Notification letter by mail. Two additional copies will be sent through the DCMMS, and the
MDS2 will be updated to include this notification in the near future. Each dealer to whom involved vehicles were invoiced (or the current dealer at the
same street address) will receive a list of their involved vehicles. The vehicle list is arranged in Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) sequence. Owners
known to DaimlerChrysler are also listed. The lists are for dealer reference in arranging for service of involved vehicles.

FUNCTION" prompt, then type "0RD889".
