Vehicle List, Parts & Owner Information
Vehicle List
A vehicle list was provided for each dealer to whom involved vehicles were invoiced (or for the current dealer at the same location) with the original dealer notification letter for this recall. The list is arranged in Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) sequence. Owners known to Chrysler are also listed. The lists are for dealer reference in arranging for service of involved vehicles.
Each Dodge or Chrysler-Plymouth dealer without a Vehicle List will receive an information copy of this letter by Compak Mail for use in performing the service on involved vehicles upon request.
Parts
A. Seat Belt Reinforcement Plate Package
Important: Recall parts packages are being billed to involved dealers in accordance with the recently announced Recall Parts Pricing policy.
A limited quantity of reinforcement plate packages have been distributed initially to all involved dealers. As this quantity will be only a portion of the total parts requirement, dealers must order additional parts as neecled to support customer demand.
A. Seat Belt Reinforcement Plate Package (Continued)
There are two seat belt reinforcement plate packages, PN C3940430 for 1990 model year vehicles and PN C3940431 for 1989 models.
