RECALL COMPLETION LABEL REQUIREMENT

There is a California Air Resources Board requirement to affix a label to the vehicle to certify that the emissions recall was completed. A label is included in each emissions service parts package. Refer to the Service Procedure of this letter for application instructions.

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND SERVICE SCHEDULING

DEALER SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

Please remove and discard the original recall notification (dated December, 1994) from your files and replace it with this revised procedure.

This service requirement applies only to 1989 model year Jeep Cherokee (XJ), Comanche (MJ) and Wrangler (YJ) vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine and California emission control system.

Failure of the oxygen sensor, PCV hose (YJ only), transfer case vacuum hose (4WD only) and/or fuel tank vent valve (FTVV) boot (YJ with steel fuel tank only) on the above listed vehicles may cause the vehicle to be in violation of California Emissions Standards. In addition, the exhaust manifold may produce an exhaust leak noise. To correct these conditions, the listed components must be replaced and the exhaust manifold must be checked for an audible leak and replaced as necessary.

PCV hose replacement as defined in step C27 or Section E of the service procedure, only applies to Wrangler (YJ) vehicles. Cherokee (XJ) and Comanche (MJ) vehicles are equipped with a crankcase vent (CCV) system and do not require PCV hose replacement

Be sure to provide a Vehicle Emission Recall Proof of Correction Form to each owner upon completion of the recall service, for owner use as proof during renewal of the vehicle registration.

PARTS PACKAGES:
Each involved dealer, to whom vehicles in the recall were invoiced, received enough Emission Service packages to service 25% of those vehicles. In addition, each California Jeep & Eagle dealer received one Exhaust Manifold package.
