SUMMARY NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION

An Order of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, dated December 19, 1997, determined that this lawsuit would be maintained on behalf of a Class defined as:

All original purchasers or persons with the rights of original purchasers of model year 1991 through 1995 Jeep vehicles that were equipped with 4.0 liter engines.

You are a member of the Class if you purchased or leased a new 1991-1995 Jeep equipped with a 4.0 liter engine. You are a Class member even if you subsequently sold or traded your Jeep. You are also a member of the Class if you are a "Second Buyer/Owner" as defined in Chrysler‚s warranty. Because who qualifies as a "Second Buyer/Owner" varies by model year, you should consult your Chrysler warranty to determine whether you qualify. If you are a member of the Class, your rights may be affected by this lawsuit. Any class member seeking to intervene or otherwise appear in the action may do so with leave of court. The opt-out date is June 1st, 1999. Because this is only a summary of the individual Notice of Class Action, if you think you are a member of the Class and you have not received notice in the mail, you are urged to request a copy of the complete Notice of Class Action by calling or writing Counsel for the Class:
