4. Other Terms of Your

Warranties

4.1 Exchanged Parts May Be Used in

Warranty Repairs

In the interest of customer satisfaction, Chrysler Group
LLC (

Chrysler

) may offer exchange service on some

truck parts. This service is intended to reduce the amount
of time your truck is not available for your use because
of repairs. Parts used in exchange service may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned, or repaired, depending
on the part involved.

All exchange parts that might be used meet Chrysler

standards, and have the same warranties as new parts.

Examples of the kinds of parts that might be serviced

in this way are:

engine assemblies;

transmission assemblies;

instrument cluster assemblies;

radios, tape, CD and DVD players;

speedometers; and

powertrain control modules.

To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, the

EPA requires the capture, purification, and reuse of
automotive air-conditioning refrigerant gases. As a re-
sult, a repair to the sealed portion of your air-
conditioning system may involve the installation of
purified reclaimed refrigerant.
