SAFETY RECALL TO INSPECT YOUR VEHICLE'S TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVESHAFT YOKE FOR LEAKS AND REPAIR THEM IF NECESSARY

Dear Talon or Laser Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Chrysler Corporation has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1990 through 1998 Eagle Talon TSi and 1992 through 1994 Plymouth Laser RS vehicles equipped with all wheel drive.

The problem is...

The transfer case on your Talon or Laser (identified on the enclosed form), may develop an oil leak and/or have a low oil level. This may cause the wheels to lock up and result in an accident without prior warning.

What Chrysler and your dealer will do...

Chrysler will repair your Talon or Laser free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the transfer case, adjust the oil level and repair or replace the transfer case as necessary. In addition, driveshaft yoke will be inspected for leaks and replaced if necessary. The inspection will take about 1/2 hour to complete. Repairs, if necessary, may require an additional two hours. However, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed.

What you must do to ensure your safety...

^ Simply contact your dealer right away 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 explains the required service to the dealer.

If you need help...

If you have trouble getting your vehicle inspected and repaired (if necessary), please call the Chrysler Customer Center, toll free, at 1-800-992-1997. A representative will assist you in getting your vehicle serviced. If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the Toll Free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. (Washington, D.C. area residents may call 1-202-366-0123.)
