CHRYSLER WILL CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL TO INSTALL A "HOT OIL" WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND A CHIME INDICATING AN ELEVATED TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE CONDITION. AN OWNER'S MANUAL ADDENDUM STATING THE PURPOSE OF THE "HOT OIL" MESSAGE AND CHIME TO INCLUDE CAUTION AND WARNING STATEMENTS REGARDING ELEVATED TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO OWNERS.
