June 2004 Dealer Service Instructions for: Customer Satisfaction Notification D27 Tire and Loading Information Label Models 2005 (LX) Chrysler 300 NOTE: This recall only applies to certain vehicles equipped with P215/65R17 tires (Sales Code TWH) that were built through April 15, 2004 (MDH 0415XX). IMPORTANT: Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this notification. IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer vehicle inventory. Dealers should complete this repair on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also perform this repair on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. Subject The tire and loading information label on about 750 of the above vehicles incorrectly states that the vehicle is equipped with a full size spare tire. Since a full size spare tire is not an available option on the listed model, all involved vehicles are equipped with a compact spare tire (T135/90D17). Repair Tire and loading information overlay labels will be mailed to all owners known to DaimlerChrysler for the owners to install (or for installation by their dealer if preferred).

Tire and loading information overlay labels are being mailed to all owners known to DaimlerChrysler. If an owner’s label is lost, dealers may order additional labels if necessary. Service Procedure 1. Open the driver’s door and locate the Tire and Loading Information Label on the driver’s door opening B-Pillar (Figure 1). 2. Clean the existing label by wiping it with a household cleaner to remove any dirt, oil residue or grease. 3. Remove the overlay label from its paper backing and carefully install it on the tire and loading information label covering the original spare tire information (Figure 1). Firmly press and smooth the label to the surface of the existing label to ensure good adhesion.
