EMISSIONS RECALL TO REPLACE YOUR VEHICLE'S VECI LABEL

Dear LHS or 300M Owner:

An incorrect Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label was inadvertently installed on your 1999 Chrysler LHS or 300M vehicle, which is equipped with a 3.5L engine. Federal and California Emissions Regulations require that accurate data be provided on the VECI label.

The problem is...

The VECI label on your Chrysler LHS or 300M (identified on the enclosed form) contains an incorrect vacuum hose routing diagram, evaporative emissions name and bar code. VECI label information is often used during in-use Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing to verify proper emissions related components. As a result, incorrect VECI label information may cause your vehicle to fail an emission test.

What you must do...

We ask that you apply the enclosed VECI label so that it covers the existing label.

On LHS models, the VECI label is located in the engine compartment on the radiator panel.

On 300M models, the VECI label is located on the underside of the hood.

To assure good adhesion, be sure the existing VECI label is clean and dry before applying the new label.

If you prefer not to install the label yourself simply contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment. The label installation will only take a few minutes; however, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed. This service will be provided free of charge. Please bring the enclosed VECI label and Owner Notification Form with you to your dealer. The form identifies the required service to the dealer.

If you need help...

If you have trouble getting your vehicle repaired, please call the DaimlerChrysler Customer Assistance Center, toll free, at 1-800-992-1997. A representative will assist you in getting your vehicle repaired.

We are sorry for any inconvenience; however, we believe this correction is essential to help ensure that your vehicle will meet emission inspection program requirements. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
