EMISSIONS RECALL TO REPLACE YOUR VEHICLE'S VECI LABEL

Dear Sebring Convertible Owner:


An incorrect Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label was inadvertently installed on some 2000 model year Chrysler Sebring Convertibles that were equipped with a 2.5L engine. Federal emissions regulations require that correct data be provided on the VECI label.

The problem is: The VECI label on your Sebring Convertible (identified on the enclosed form) indicates that the vehicle was built for sale in Canada. The VECI label is often used during in-use Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing to verify proper emissions related components. As a result, incorrect label information may cause your vehicle to fail an emission test.

What you must do: We ask that you apply the enclosed VECI label so that it covers the original incorrect label The original label is located in the engine compartment on the upper radiator core support. To assure good adhesion, be sure the original VECI label is clean and dry before applying the new label.

If you prefer not to install the label yourself, simply contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment. The label installation will only take a few minutes; however, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed. This service will be provided free of charge. Please bring the enclosed VECI label and Owner Notification Form with you to your dealer. The form identifies the required service to the dealer.


If you need help: If you have questions or concerns which the dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the DalmlerChrysler Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-992-1997. A representative will assist you.

We are sorry for any inconvenience; however, we believe this correction is essential to help ensure that your vehicle will meet emission inspection test requirements. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
