bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this program at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, through
September 30, 2006.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the
dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in
this bulletin. A copy of the customer letter is shown in this bulletin. Program follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may

must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
