IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors Dear [Name], This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. FCA US LLC has decided that certain [2022 Model Year (LA)Dodge Challenger, (LD) Dodge Charger and (LX) Chrysler 300] vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.138 states that “…each vehicle must be equipped with a tire pressure monitor system” that detects “when one or more of a vehicles tire is significantly under-inflated and illuminates a low tire pressure warning telltale.” The tire pressure system in the suspect vehicles may not detect low tire pressure. It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors on your vehicle [1] may prematurely discharge its battery, making the TPMS sensor inoperative. If the TPMS light illuminates because the battery in the sensor prematurely discharges, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect all the TPMS sensors and replace any if needed. The estimated repair time is about 2 hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership. TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR, CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED? If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed. We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
