DEALER VEHICLE CAMPAIGN LIST:
Enclosed is a "Dealer Campaign List" listing affected vehicles which, according to our records to date were invoiced to you. You will be receiving
additional vehicles that do not appear on this list. We anticipate affected vehicles to be in the distribution system for the next several weeks. Please check
all new vehicle shipments and ensure that any new vehicle affected by this recall is repaired prior to delivery.
If any vehicle listed under dealer stock has, in fact, been retailed, the dealer must contact the owner and advise him to return the vehicle for the necessary
recall repair. All new vehicles must be modified before delivery.
If a list is not enclosed, then, according to our records, you did not receive any of the affected vehicles.
The occasion may arise where you are asked to perform recall campaign work on a vehicle that was not invoiced to you (i.e. transient owner, etc.). In
such a case, normal procedure should be followed.
