EMISSIONS RECALL TO REPLACE YOUR VEHICLE'SMETHANOL FUEL SENSOR
Dear DaimlerChrysler Vehicle Owner:
DaimlerChrysler has determined that some 1993-1994 Dodge Spirit and Plymouth Acclaim; and 1994-1995 Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler Concorde and Eagle Vision vehicles equipped with a flexible fuel engine may be in violation of Federal Emissions Standards.
The problem is...
The methanol fuel sensor on your vehicle (identified on the enclosed form) may fail and affect the ability of the engine to adapt to the amount of methanol contained in the fuel. This may cause hard starting, poor driveability and illumination of the "Check Engine" light. This could also result in hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) levels above the allowable limits which were established to protect the public from the dangers of air pollution.
What DaimlerChrysler and your dealer will do...
DaimlerChrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace the methanol fuel sensor. The work will take about one hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed.
What you must do...
^ Simply contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment. Ask the dealer to hold the parts for your vehicle or to order them before your appointment.
^ Bring the enclosed Owner Notification Form with you to your dealer. It identifies the required service to your dealer.
If you need help...
If you have trouble getting your vehicle repaired, please call the DaimlerChrysler Customer Center, toll free, at 1-800-992-1997. A representative will assist you in getting your vehicle repaired. If you are still unable to obtain the repair as described in this letter within a reasonable time, you may also contact the Vehicle Programs and Compliance Division of the Environmental Protection Agency (64051), 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20460.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle under Federal law and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be a lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Further, without this repair, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test.
We are sorry for any inconvenience but trust that you understand our interest in clean air and your continuing satisfaction with our product. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
