No. 397
September, 1987
To:
All Chrysler Motors Dealers
Subject:
Emissions Recall #397 -- Fuel Injector
Models:
All 1986 Passenger Cars With 2.2L or 2.5L EFI (Non-Turbo) Engine:
-
Plymouth Caravelle and Reliant
-
Dodge 600, Daytona, Aries and Lancer
-
Chrysler New Yorker, Laser, LeBaron, Town & Country and LeBaron GTS
Also 1987 Plymouth Sundance and Dodge Shadow Built During 1986 Model Year Period and Equipped With Same 2.2L EFI Engine
The listed model cars equipped with 2.2L or 2.5L EFI engines may emit hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in excess of the Emissions Standards. This
is a result of rich fuel injectors. To ensure compliance to the emissions standards, each involved vehicle must be inspected for the condition, and
defective injectors must be replaced with revised parts.
Because of the large number of involved cars and limited availability of revised injectors at this time, initial parts distribution and owner notification will
be limited to the Western Region Zones. Cars in the remainder of the country will be recalled about two months after the Western Region.
Note:
To support this plan, parts will only be available for dealer orders in Zones where the recall has been started
A new diagnostic instrument DRBII (tm), will be used for this recall. All dealers will be shipped a DRBII in time for the start of the recall in their
regions.
Details of this service action are explained in the following sections. As an additional service aid, a videotape has been made to show the recall
inspection and repair procedures, including the use of the DRBII. The videotape is included with the September, 1987 M.T.S.C. Program.
Vehicle List, Label Requirement, Owner Notification Information
Vehicle List
Each dealer to whom involved cars were invoiced (or the current dealer at the same location) will receive a listing of them with this letter, arranged in
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) sequence. Owners known to Chrysler are also listed. The lists are for dealer reference in arranging for service of
involved cars.
Each Chrysler-Plymouth or Dodge dealer without a Vehicle List will receive an information copy of this letter for use in performing the service on
involved cars upon request.
California Recall Completion Label Requirement
Owners of cars registered in California only are being mailed a recall completion label to be delivered to dealers for installation at the time of service.
This is a requirement of the State of California.
When the service has been completed, use a ball point pen to print your dealer code on the label. Peel the label from the backing and affix it near the
Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label.
Each California dealer will also receive ten labels enclosed with this letter for use as spares. Additional labels may be obtained from the Los Angeles or
San Francisco Zone Service Offices if needed. Ask for Recall #397 Completion Label.

Fuel Injector Recall Parts Packages, PN C3940292, are being shipped at dealer cost to involved dealers in each geographic region at the time of recall
launch in that area. Each dealer will receive an initial supply equal to 1/4 of the number of cars shown on the Vehicle List. This will handle most of the
recall requirements.
