Vehicle List

Owner Notification and Service Scheduling

All involved vehicle owners known to Chrysler are being notified of this service requirement by first class mail. Owners are instructed to make appointments with Chrysler Corporation dealers of their choice for the required service. A copy of the owner notification letter is attached.

Dealers are urged to schedule all appointments promptly and courteously upon request, regardless of where the affected vehicles were purchased. Strong dealer commitment is essential for the success of this service program and the satisfaction of our customers -- our common goal.

Enclosed with the owner letters are Claim Forms, #83-295-0018 (10/82). Owners are instructed to give the forms to their dealers at the time of service. Each form provides owner and dealer instructions, a parts return tag and a Vehicle Disposition Form on Copy
1. (The latter is used to notify Chrysler of changes in vehicle possession.) Copy 2 is for the dealer claim and Copy 3 for dealer records.

Claim Forms for vehicles whose owners are not known to Chrysler will be mailed to the dealers to whom the vehicles were invoiced, for dealer follow-up.

IMPORTANT: Dealers are urged to service all involved stock vehicles before retail delivery, and to contact buyers who are not identified on the Vehicle List to schedule the service without delay.
