Your vehicle, identified on the enclosed form, requires service to correct the condition. We ask that you arrange for this service without delay. The
service and required parts as described in this letter will be provided free of charge.
The defect involves the high pressure hose of the ABS system. This hose may come loose from its end fitting, causing leakage of fluid from the brake
hydraulic system. If this occurs, it may cause loss of the anti-lock brake function and eventual loss of power brake assist. An increase in stopping
distance could result.
With this defect, the driver will be warned that a partial loss of braking has occurred. The warning will be provided by the lighting of the amber
Anti-Lock Warning Lamp and the red Brake Warning Lamp in the instrument cluster. If the warning signal is ignored, the increased stopping distance
could result in a crash.
During the service procedure, your dealer will replace the potentially defective high pressure hose with a new type of hose.
The work will take about one 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.
^
Take the enclosed Owner Recall Notification Form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form identifies the
vehicle and recall for which the service is required.
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 Owner'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
