Service Procedure Videotape
No videotape of the service procedure for this recall will be provided.
Dealer Notification & Vehicle List
Involved dealers: Each dealer to whom involved vehicles were invoiced (or the current dealer at the same street address) will receive a copy of this
dealer recall notification letter and a list of the involved vehicles by Certified Mail.
Important:
Dealer notification by Certified Mail is required by federal law for all safety recalls. Responsible dealership personnel should be instructed to sign
for this Certified Mail without hesitation as it concerns urgent safety recall information.
The Vehicle List is arranged 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.
All dealers: Each Dodge and Chrysler-Plymouth dealer will receive a copy of this dealer recall notification letter by Compak mail.
DIAL System Function 70
All involved vehicles will be entered to DIAL System Function 70 at the time of recall implementation for dealer inquiry by VIN as needed.
Parts
Important:
Due to the small number of involved vehicles and the unknown number of wheels required for each vehicle, no parts will be distributed initially to
dealers. Dealers are requested to order parts only to support scheduled repairs.
Wheel Packages, Recall PN C3905750, may be ordered at dealer cost to support customer demand. Owners were requested to inspect their vehicle to
determine the number of replacement wheels required. Dealers should inquire if the owner performed the inspection and order the required parts when
scheduling the service appointment.
Each parts package contains the components (see illustration).
