Just ran across this recall notice issued February 26, 2009 on the Dodge website. It applies to our Sprinter but it's in winter storage for a couple more weeks. We haven't had any problems so hopefully this will prevent future problems.
EMISSIONS RECALL H44 – Reprogram Engine Control Module
Dear: (Name)
Chrysler has determined that some 2007-2009 Dodge and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles may release air
pollutants which exceed Federal and California regulations.
The problem is... The Engine Control Module on your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may not
actuate the EGR valve sufficiently to prevent soot accumulation, resulting in
improper valve operation or sticking. Improper valve operation may cause
excessive exhaust emissions, illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp and a
vehicle limp-in condition.
What your dealer
will do...
Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this,
your dealer will reprogram your vehicle’s Engine Control Module. The work will
take about ½ hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary
depending on service schedules.
What you must do... Simply contact your dealer right away to schedule a service appointment.
Remember to bring this letter with you to the dealer.
If you need help... If you have questions or concerns which your dealer is unable to resolve, please
contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
California
residents…
The State of California requires the completion of emission recall repairs
prior to vehicle registration renewal. Your dealer will provide you with a
Vehicle Emission Recall Proof of Correction Form after the recall service is
performed. Be sure to save this form since the California Department of Motor
Vehicles may require that you supply it as proof that the recall has been performed.
Please help us update our records by filling out the attached prepaid postcard, if any of the conditions listed on
the card apply to you or your vehicle. You may also update this information on the web at

If you have already experienced this condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may send your original
receipts and/or other adequate proof of payment to the following address for reimbursement: Chrysler Recall
Customer Assistance, P.O. Box 21-8007, Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8007, Attention: Reimbursement.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty provisions, 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 are sorry for any inconvenience but trust that you understand our interest in clean air. Thank you for
your attention to this important matter.
