SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE YOUR VEHICLE'S PASSENGER
AIR BAG MODULE

Dear Intrepid or Concorde 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 Intrepid and Chrysler Concorde vehicles.

The problem is...

The passenger air bag module on your Intrepid or Concorde (identified on the enclosed form), may have been improperly assembled and may not contain some required components. As a result, the passenger air bag will not inflate during an accident which will result in increased injury to a front seat passenger under certain accident conditions.

What Chrysler and your dealer will do...

Chrysler will repair your Intrepid or Concorde free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace the passenger air bag module. The work will take about 1-1/2 hours 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 1-800-992-1997. 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.
