EMISSIONS RECALL --
1987 CHRYSLER PASSENGER CARS WITH A 5.2L CARBURETED ENGINE OPERATED IN HIGH ALTITUDE AREAS

Dear Chrysler Vehicle Owner:

It has been determined that your 1987 Chrysler vehicle with a 5.2 liter carbureted engine may be in violation of Federal Emissions Standards. Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels could be above the allowable limits, which were established to protect the public health from the dangers of air pollution. For this reason, we are asking you to return your vehicle -- identified by the Vehicle Identification Number on the enclosed form -- to your dealer for a special service repair. This service will be provided free of charge.

The needed instructions have been sent to all Chrysler-Plymouth and Dodge dealers. The service will not hurt your engine performance or fuel economy. To obtain this service:

^ Contact your dealer as soon as possible to make an appointment for the free service.

^ Take the enclosed Owner Recall Notification Form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form identifies the vehicle and recall for which service is required.

^ The dealer will replace the engine computer and the transmission throttle lever and rod. The service will take about one hour, but additional time may be required depending on how service appointments are scheduled and processed.

If you have any problem obtaining the service, please contact the Chrysler Zone Service Office in your area. (It is listed under 'Service Assistance' in your Owner's Manual.) A Zone representative will arrange for prompt servicing of your vehicle. If you are still unable to obtain the repair as described in this letter within a reasonable time, you may also contact the Manufacturers Operations Division of the Environmental Protection Agency (6405-J), 401 M Street S. W., Washington, D. C. 20460.

We regret any inconvenience this action may cause, but trust you understand our interest in clean air and in your continuing satisfaction with our product. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
