Subject

A non-applicable Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label was inadvertently installed on about 4,000 of the above vehicles.

The VECI label on complete vehicles (also known as without cab chassis) with a 3.0L diesel engine incorrectly states that the vehicle does not have Onboard Diagnostics (OBD).

The VECI labels on incomplete vehicles (also known as cab chassis) equipped with either a 3.6L gasoline engine or a 3.0L diesel engine indicate an incorrect maximum curb weight.

 

Repair

A new VECI label must be installed over the vehicle’s original VECI label.

 

Parts Information

Dealers are required to install the new label on all involved vehicles in dealer inventory.

New VECI labels are being mailed directly to all vehicle owners known to FCA with the Owner Notification letter.  The owners are requested to install the label themselves or, if preferred, to arrange for dealer installation of the owner supplied label without charge.

Owner Notification and Service Scheduling

All involved vehicle owners known to FCA are being notified of the service requirement by first class mail.  They are requested to install the supplied VECI label over the original label on their vehicle.  Any owner who prefers not to install the label is asked to schedule an appointment for the service with their dealer.  A generic copy of the owner letter is attached.

Enclosed with each owner letter is an Owner Notification postcard to allow owners to update our records if applicable.

 

Vehicle Lists, Global Recall System, VIP and Dealer Follow Up

All involved vehicles have been entered into the DealerCONNECT Global Recall System (GRS) and Vehicle Information Plus (VIP) for dealer inquiry as needed.

GRS provides involved dealers with an updated VIN list of their incomplete vehicles.  The owner’s name, address and phone number are listed if known.  Completed vehicles are removed from GRS within several days of repair claim submission.

To use this system, click on the “Service” tab and then click on “Global Recall System.”  Your dealer’s VIN list for each recall displayed can be sorted by: those vehicles that were unsold at recall launch, those with a phone number, city, zip code, or VIN sequence.

Dealers must perform this repair on all unsold vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also use the VIN list to follow up with all owners to schedule appointments for this repair.

Recall VIN lists may contain confidential, restricted owner name and address information that was obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles of various states.  Use of this information is permitted for this recall only and is strictly prohibited from all other use.

IMPORTANT EMISSIONS RECALL

R02

 

This notice applies to your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

 

Dear: (Name)

 

FCA has determined that a non-applicable Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label was inadvertently installed on certain 2014 through 2015 RAM ProMaster vehicles equipped with a 50 state emissions system.

The problem is…	The VECI label on complete vehicles (also known as without cab chassis) with a 3.0L diesel engine incorrectly states that the vehicle does not have Onboard Diagnostics (OBD). The VECI labels on incomplete vehicles (also known as cab chassis) equipped with either 3.6L gasoline engine or a 3.0L diesel engine indicate an incorrect maximum curb weight. This label provides important emissions related service information and is required under Federal and California regulations.
What you must do…	We ask that you apply the enclosed VECI label so that it covers the original label as described on the reverse side of this letter. If you prefer not to install the label yourself, simply contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment.  Label installation will only take a few minutes.  However, additional time may be necessary depending on service schedules.  This service will be provided free of charge.  Please bring the enclosed VECI label and this letter with you to your dealer.
If you need help…	If you have questions or concerns which your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the FCA Group Recall Assistance Center at either recalls.mopar.com or 1-800-8531403.

 

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 or you can mail your original receipts and proof of payment to the following address for reimbursement consideration: FCA Customer Assistance, P.O. Box 21-8004, Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8007, Attention: Recall Reimbursement.  Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you’ve had previous repairs and/or reimbursement you may still need to have the recall repair performed on your vehicle.

 

In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty provisions, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.  Failure to do so could legally be determined to be a lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle.  Further, without this repair, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test.

We are sorry for any inconvenience but trust that you understand our interest in clean air.  Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
