SAFETY RECALL - FUSE BLOCK WIRING TERMINAL

Dear Renault/Eagle Medallion Vehicle Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Chrysler Corporation has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1988 and 1989 model Medallion vehicles equipped with air conditioning. The fuse holder for the air conditioner blower motor circuit may not clamp the fuse tightly enough to provide a good electrical connection. This can increase electrical resistance, causing the fuse holder terminals and wiring to overheat. A loss of blower motor operation may result. The overheating may also cause a fire to start in the instrument panel, which could be hazardous to vehicle occupants.

Your vehicle, identified on the enclosed form, is affected. For this reason we ask that you arrange for service to correct the condition without delay. The service and required parts as described in this letter will be provided free of charge.

To ensure a proper electrical connection, your dealer will install a new fuse holder. The work will take about one-half hour to complete. However, additional time may be required depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and processed. To obtain this free service:

^ Contact your dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for the repair.

^ Take the enclosed Owner Recall Notification Form with you at the time of your appointment and give it to your dealer. The form identifies the vehicle and recall for which the service is required.

If you have any problem obtaining the needed correction, please contact the Chrysler Zone Service Office in your area (shown on the enclosed listing). A Zone representative will arrange for prompt completion of the work on your vehicle.

We regret any inconvenience which this action may cause you. However, we believe that you understand our concern for motor vehicle safety, and for your continued satisfaction with our products. If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the Toll Free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. (Washington D.C. area residents may call 366-0123.)

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
