EMISSIONS RECALL --
1984 CHRYSLER MOTORS PASSENGER CARS WITH 2.2 LITER EFI ENGINES SOLD IN CALIFORNIA
Dear Chrysler Motors Vehicle Owner:
It has been determined that your 1984 Chrysler Motors car, with a 2.2 liter electronic fuel injected engine, may be in violation of California Emissions Standards. For this reason, we are asking you to return your car -- identified by the Vehicle Identification Number on the enclosed form -- to your dealer for a special service repair. This service will be provided free of charge.
The needed instructions have been sent to all Chrysler-Plymouth and Dodge dealers. The service will not hurt your engine performance or fuel economy. Your dealer is ready to serve you now. To obtain this service:
^ Contact your dealer as soon as possible to make an appointment for the free service. We request that you contact the dealer who sold you the vehicle. However, if necessary, the service can be arranged for through any Chrysler Motors dealer.
^ Take the enclosed claim form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form is for use by the dealer and by Chrysler to record completion of the service.
^ The dealer will readjust the ignition timing, modify the exhaust gas recirculation system and install a new hose routing diagram and completion label. The service will take about one-half hour.
As you probably know, the State of California requires that every vehicle must pass an emission test every two years and before it is sold. Without the free service we are providing, your vehicle may be more likely to fail this test and require that you make costly repairs.
We regret any inconvenience this action may cause, but trust you understand our Interest in clean air and in your continued satisfaction with our products. If you experience any difficulty in obtaining the corrective service, please contact the Chrysler Zone Office in your area disted under "Service Assistance" in your Operator's Manual).
