You will be receiving additional vehicles that do not appear on the "Dealer Campaign List". We anticipate affected vehicles to be in the distribution system for the next several weeks. Please check all new vehicle shipments and ensure that any new vehicle affected by this recall is repaired prior to delivery.
If any vehicle listed under dealer stock has, in fact, been retailed, the dealer must contact the owner and advise him to return the vehicle for the necessary recall repair. All new vehicles must be modified before delivery.
If a list is not enclosed, then, according to our records, you did not receive any of the affected vehicles.
The occasion may arise where you are asked to perform recall campaign work on a vehicle that was not invoiced to you (i.e. transient owner, etc.). In such a case, normal procedure should be followed.
