occurring, involved vehicles must be inspected to identify and repair transfer cases built during the suspect period.

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 vehicles.
Each Jeep/Eagle dealer without a Vehicle List will receive an information copy of this letter by Compak Mail for use in performing the service on
involved vehicles upon request.
