SAFETY RECALL TO INSPECT YOUR VEHICLE'S INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT SHOULDER BELTS AND REROUTE THEM IF NECESSARY

Dear Chrysler Minivan 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 1998 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan; Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager; and Chrysler Town & Country minivans equipped with integrated child seats.

The problem is...

The integrated child seat shoulder belts on your minivan (identified on the enclosed form), may have been incorrectly routed during assembly. An incorrectly routed shoulder belt may not properly restrain a child seat occupant in certain accident conditions. This could result in increased injury to a belted child seat occupant.

What Chrysler and your dealer will do...

Chrysler will repair your minivan free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the child seat shoulder belt routing and reroute it if necessary. The work will take about 1/2 hour to complete. 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.

^ 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 repaired, please call the Chrysler Customer Center, toll free, at 1-800-992-1997. A representative will assist you in getting your vehicle repaired. 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.)

We're sorry for any inconvenience, but we are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thanks for your attention to this important matter.
