SAFETY RECALL - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Dear Jeep Vehicle Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Chrysler Corporation has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1989 and 1990 model year Jeep
Cherokee, Wagoneer and Comanche vehicles equipped with 4.0L engines and automatic transmissions. In some cases, when the engine is
started, the engine idle speed may be too high. If the transmission is then placed in gear, the high idle speed could cause unexpected movement
of the vehicle and result in an accident. The high idle speed condition is caused by a defective throttle position sensor.
Your Jeep, whose Vehicle Identification Number is shown on the enclosed form, is one of the affected vehicles. For this reason we ask that you
arrange for service to correct the condition without delay. The service and required parts as defined in this letter will be provided free of
charge.
To correct the problem, your dealer will replace the throttle position sensor. The work will take about one-half hour to complete. However,
additional time may be required depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed. To obtain this free service:
^
Contact your dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for the service.
^
Take the enclosed Owner Recall Notification Form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form
shows the identification number for the vehicle which requires service.
If you have any problem obtaining the needed service, please contact the Chrysler Zone Service Office in your area. (It is listed under "Service
Assistance" in your Operator's Manual.) A Zone representative will arrange for prompt servicing of your vehicle.
We regret any inconvenience which this action may cause you. However, we believe that you understand our concern for motor vehicle safety, and for
your continued satisfaction with our products. If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge within a reasonable time, you may
submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590, or
call the Toll Free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. (Washington D.C. area residents may call 366-0123.)
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
