Dear Chrysler Corporation Vehicle Owner:
The satisfaction of our customers is very important to Chrysler. Because of this, we are offering a free service at this time to owners of certain 1989 and
1990 model vehicles equipped with 4-speed automatic transmissions. The vehicle whose Vehicle Identification Number is shown on the enclosed form is
included in this offer. The service and requiredpartsas describedin this letter will be provided to you without charge.
This service will prevent possible transmission damage in extremely cold weather resulting from restricted flow of transmission fluid through the oil
cooler. We ask that you arrange for this important service without delay.
To correct the condition, your dealer will install a bypass valve to ensure an adequate fluid supply to the transmission at all times. If your vehicle has
already had this service performed, please disregard this notice. Otherwise, to obtain this service:
^
Contact your dealer promptly to schedule an appointment for the free service.
^
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 condition for which service is required.
The work will take less than one hour to complete. However, additional time may be required depending on how service appointments are scheduled and
processed.
If you have any problem obtaining the needed service, please contact the Chrysler Zone Service 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 vehicle.
We regret any inconvenience that this action may cause you. However, we believe that this special service will help to ensure your continuing
satisfaction with your Chrysler product.
