DEALER VEHICLES CAMPAIGN LIST

Included in this mailing is a "Dealer Campaign List" listing affected vehicles which were invoiced to you.

If a campaign list is not enclosed, then (according to our records), you did not receive any of the affected vehicles.

You may be required to perform recall campaign work on a vehicle that was not invoiced to your dealership (i.e., transient owner, etc.).

If this occurs, normal repair procedures should be followed.

OWNER NOTIFICATION (Group 2 Vehicles)

All owners on record will be issued recall notifications via first class mail commencing December 24, 1990. Included will also be a letter advising them of this condition. (A copy of the owner's letter is included with this mailing).

Owners will be asked to contact their selling dealer (or nearest authorized dealer) and make an appointment for repair work. They will also be asked to sign and return the "Campaign Claim" form to the dealer.

Note: A dealer should never refuse to perform, or delay, an open campaign repair on any vehicle due to the unavailability of a campaign claim form or other documentation.
