Emissions Recalls # 672 and # 673 -- VECI Label Replacement

^ This service requirement applies only to 1996 model year Dodge Ram Vans and Wagons (AB) equipped with a 3.9L or 5.2L engine ("X" or "Y" in the 8th VIN position), built from September 26, 1995 through December 1, 1995 (MDH 092610 through 120107) with a:

^ Recall # 672 -- Federal Emission Control System (Sales Code -- NAA)

^ Recall # 673 -- California Emission Control System (Sales Code -- NAE)

^ The Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label installed on the above listed vehicles specifies incorrect engine family and emission system barcode information. The label identifies the engine family and emission system configuration for vehicle emission testing. As a result, an incorrect label may cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test. To correct this condition, a new VECI label must be installed.

^ When submitting a service claim, be sure to use the correct labor operation number for the vehicle and recall involved. The correct LOP must be used to ensure proper payment.

Parts Packages:

^ Replacement labels are being mailed directly to owners. The owners are requested to install the labels themselves or, if preferred, to arrange for dealer installation of the owner supplied label without charge.

^ Seven different VECI labels are involved depending upon the vehicle, engine and emission control system. Dealers must determine the appropriate label for each involved vehicle if the owner does not have the label that was enclosed with the owner notification letter. Refer to the Parts section for details.
