IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

TO REPLACE YOUR VEHICLE'S FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTONS

Dear Laser, Talon or Stealth Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the defect provision requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Chrysler Corporation has determined that some front seat belt release buttons have broken in certain 1990 and 1991 Plymouth Laser and Eagle Talon and 1991 Dodge Stealth vehicles, and that some release buttons may break in the future.

The Problem is...

The red plastic front seat belt buckle release buttons, marked "PRESS", on your vehicle (identified on the enclosed form), may break. If this occurs, the pieces may fall into the buckle and cause the buckle to not operate properly, thereby creating a safety risk.

What Chrysler and your dealer will do...

Chrysler will replace both front seat belt buckle release buttons on your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor) whether they are broken or not. The work will take about one-half hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed.

Chrysler is also extending the warranty on the front seat belt components in your vehicle for the life of the vehicle. This means that if any conditions covered by the seat belt warranty are found at any time, now or in the future, your Dodge, Chrysler-Plymouth or Jeep & Eagle dealer will correct these conditions free of charge. Please keep this letter with your warranty materials.

What you must do to ensure your safety...

^ It is very important that you schedule your vehicle for release button replacement as soon as possible. If your seat belt buckle does not operate properly, you might not be able to use it until it is repaired (seat belt use is required by law in most states). If you do not use your seat belt, and you are in a collision, your chances of being killed or seriously injured are much higher than if you are wearing your seat belt. Chrysler urges you to use your seat belt at all times, and to contact your Dodge, Chrysler-Plymouth or Jeep & Eagle dealer immediately to schedule a service appointment. Even if the buttons are not broken, they should be replaced. 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 your dealer.
