Emissions Recall
1988 Through Early 1991 Eagle Premier And Dodge Monaco
Models With A 3.0 Liter Engine
Dear Chrysler Corporation Vehicle Owner:
The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that your Chrysler car, with a 3.0 liter engine, may be in violation of Federal Emissions Standards.
Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels could be above the allowable limits which were established to protect the public health from the dangers of air
pollution. For this reason, we are asking you to return your vehicle, identified by the Vehicle Identification Number on the enclosed form, to your dealer
for a special service repair. The service and required parts as described in this letter will be provided free of charge.
The needed instructions have been sent to all Dodge and Jeep & Eagle dealers. The service will not hurt your engine performance or fuel economy. To
obtain this service:
^
Contact your dealer to make a service appointment.
^
Take the enclosed Owner Notification Form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form identifies the vehicle and
the service that is required.
^
The dealer will replace the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter. The service will take about one hour to complete. However, additional time may be
required depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle under Federal law, and your right to participate in
future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be a lack of
proper maintenance of your vehicle. Further, without this repair your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test.
If you have any problem obtaining the service, please call the Chrysler Customer Center, toll free, at (800) 853-1403. A representative will assist you in
getting your vehicle repaired. If you are still unable to obtain the repair as described in this letter within a reasonable time, you may also contact the
Manufacturers Operations Division of the Environmental Protection Agency (6405J), 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.
We regret any inconvenience which this action may cause you, but trust that you understand our interest in clean air and your continuing satisfaction with
our product. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
