JEEP CHEROKEE 1988 Service Repair Manual Chrysler Corporation has determined that some 1989 and 1990 Jeep
Cherokee, Comanche and Wrangler vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine,
may be in violation of Federal Emissions Standards.
The Problem i

Chrysler Corporation has determined that some 1989 and 1990 Jeep
Cherokee, Comanche and Wrangler vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine,
may be in violation of Federal Emissions Standards.
The Problem is... The oxygen sensor and catalytic convener on your
vehicle (identified on the enclosed form), may be
susceptible to failure. This could result in
hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides
of nitrogen (NOx) emission levels above the
allowable limits, which were established to protect
the public health from the dangers of air pollution.
What you must do... * Simply contact your Jeep dealer to schedule
a service appointment. Ask the dealer to hold
parts for your vehicle or order them prior to
your appointment.
* Bring the enclosed Owner Notification Form with
you to your dealer. It tells the dealer what
service is required for your vehicle.
What Chrysler and Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge
your dealer will do... (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will
replace the oxygen sensor and catalytic
converter. The service will take about one hour
but additional time may be required depending on
how service work is scheduled and processed.
If you need help... If you have trouble getting your vehicle
repaired, please call the Chrysler Customer
Center, toll free, at 1-800-853-1403.
A representative will assist you in getting your
vehicle repaired. If you are still unable to
obtain the repair as described in this letter
within a reasonable time, you may also contact
the Manufacturers Operations Division of the
Environmental Protection Agency (6405J), 401 M
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty
made applicable to your vehicle under Federal law, and your right to
participate in future recalls, 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're sorry for any inconvenience, but trust that you understand our
interest in clean air and your continuing satisfaction with our
product. Thanks for your attention to this important matter.

CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT INFORMATION (TURBO-DIESEL)
CAUTION: Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result
in serious engine damage.
The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be
checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some
manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified
mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive
belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components
on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve
contact. These designs are often called "Free Wheeling".
Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty
schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect timing belt inspection and/or
replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules
reflect these changes.
Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any
of the following conditions exist:
* Cracks Or Tears In Belt Surface
* Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
* Oil Contamination
* Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
* Incorrect Tension Adjustment

made applicable to your vehicle under Federal law, and your right to
participate in future recalls, 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.
