SUBJECT: Rapid Response Transmittal Service Action #05-008 REV. A

RE: 2.0L DOHC, 2.4L NA OR 2.4L TURBO ENGINE BENT VALVE

DATE: May 9, 2005

INVOLVED VEHICLES:

2005 (RS) Town & Country/Caravan
2005 (RG) Chrysler Voyager (International Markets)
2005 (PT) PT Cruiser
2005 (PL) Neon
2005 (TJ) Wrangler
2005 (KJ) Liberty
2005 (JR) Sebring Sedan/Convertible/Stratus Sedan

DISCUSSION: A number of 2.0L DOHC, 2.4L naturally aspirated or 2.4L turbo engines may have been built with a bent valve(s). This could result in a vehicle no start, engine misfire or engine noise. If after a road test the conditions are not present, no further action is required. It will be necessary to perform a road test on all the vehicles listed, to determine if an engine replacement is necessary.

If any vehicle(s) have the condition the engine assembly must be replaced.

robino · 05-10-2005, 09:42 AM

spray a 150 shot through it, it'll straighten out that bent valve.

Please read the first line: it is an internal DCx memo to all dealerships.

Another example why 04 was the best year.

**Dark Syde SRT-4** · 05-11-2005, 05:02 PM

the coolest thing about recalls, regardless of whats been done mod wise to the car, they have to replace it (unless you already did)

Ain't that the truth.

Wow, the 05 guys are really getting the shaft. First the bad warranty, then the PCM thing, no Electric Blue Pearl, and now this?
