DISCUSSION:
User-ready child restraint tether strap anchors will be provided in passenger cars in the 2000 Model Year, and in light trucks in the 2001 Model Year and later. Tether straps improve the performance of child restraints in collisions. Because of the publicity that has accompanied the "Fit for a Kid" Program, owners of earlier products are expected to approach dealers for the free provision and installation of the anchor hardware.
Chrysler is offering child seat tether anchors for the selected vehicles listed above. Each tether anchor is packaged in a kit containing all necessary parts and a detailed instruction sheet.
NOTE:
This bulletin is provided to identify the parts and labor operation numbers necessary to install a Child Seat Tether Anchor. Each dealer is encouraged to install these kits based on customer request and Chrysler will reimburse any Chrysler / Dodge / or Jeep dealer installing these kits regardless of vehicle age or mileage.
