DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY

Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.

This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in this campaign may not comply with the regulation identified above. Under Sections 108 and 114 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety regulation. As a consequence, if you sell any of these motor vehicles without first performing the campaign correction, your dealership may be subject to a civil penalty up to $1,000 of each such sale.
Owners of vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer, and arrangements made to make the required modification according to instructions contained in this bulletin.

DEALER ACTION

Dealers are to install the new furnished label on all vehicles on his VIN list, which our records indicate are in dealers' stock, as directed in the label installation procedure included in this bulletin.

Since the certification label can be installed easily by owners, a new label is being mailed directly to affected known owners. The owner may install the label personally or request dealer assistance for this service. If an owner should request dealer assistance, the campaign modification is to be performed at no charge to the owner.
