SAFETY RECALL TO INSTALL A SLEEVE ON YOUR VEHICLE'S STEERING SHAFT

Dear Ram Truck 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 1994 and 1995 Dodge Ram trucks.

The problem is...

The lower steering column shaft on your Ram truck (identified on the enclosed form), may separate from the upper column shaft. This will result in a loss of steering control and could cause an accident without prior warning.

What Chrysler and your dealer will do...

Chrysler will repair your Ram truck free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will install a special sleeve around the steering shaft to prevent any potential for steering column separation. The work will take less than one-half 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. 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 repaired, please call the Chrysler Customer Center, toll free, at 1-800-853-1403. 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 366-0123.)

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