CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION G29 CONVERTIBLE TOP MICRO SWITCHES, REPROGRAM PTCM AND INSTALL LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT WARNING TAG
Effective immediately Rapid Response Transmittal (RRT) 07-025 and 07-040 are cancelled and all repairs on involved vehicles are to be performed according to this notification.
MODELS:
2008 (JS) Chrysler Sebring Convertible
NOTE:
This notification applies only to the above vehicles built through August 30, 2007 (MDH 083023).
^ The convertible top micro switches on about 1,250 of the above vehicles may bind and the Power Top Control Module (PTCM) software may deform the header motor gear(s) under certain operating conditions. In addition, storing objects forward of the trunk cargo shield can damage the convertible top mechanism if the top is lowered. These conditions can cause the convertible top to become inoperative.
^ To correct this condition:
> If the vehicle DID NOT have RRT 07-025 performed AND the MDH is 062223 or earlier, the tonneau extend, retract and deck lid forward latch micro switches must be replaced, the PTCM must be reprogrammed and a luggage compartment warning tag must be installed.
> If the vehicle HAD RRT 07-025 performed, OR the MDH is 062300 through 083023, only the deck lid forward latch micro switch must be replaced, the PTCM must be reprogrammed and a luggage compartment warning tag must be installed.
