Stratus L4-2.4L VIN X (1998)
Chrysler Corporation has determined that some 1998 Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus and Plymouth Breeze vehicles may be in violation of Federal
Emissions Standards.
The problem is...
The catalytic converter on your Cirrus, Stratus or Breeze vehicle (identified on the enclosed form), may have been improperly welded, causing it to fail
prematurely. This could result in hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) levels above the allowable limits which were
established to protect the public health from the dangers of air pollution.
What Chrysler and your dealer will do...
Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace the catalytic converter. The work will take about
one hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed.
What you must do...
^
Simply contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment. Ask the dealer to hold the parts for your vehicle or to order them before your
appointment.
^
Bring the enclosed Owner Notification Form with you to your dealer. It explains the required service to your dealer.
If you need help...
If you have trouble getting your vehicle repaired, please call the Chrysler Customer Center, toll free, at 1-800-992-1997. 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
Vehicle Programs and Compliance Division of the Environmental Protection Agency (6405J), 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.
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.
We are sorry for any inconvenience, but trust that you understand our interest in clean air and your continuing satisfaction with our product. Thanks for
your attention to this important matter.
