J10, Grand Wagoneer and AMC Eagle all with 4.2 liter engines and built from 1985 through 1990. The federal standard for car bon monoxide is 10 grams per mile for AMC Jeeps and Eagles, while the vehicles test ed on average showed 12 grams per mile — or 20 per cent over the federal standard, the EPA said Excessive levels of carbon monoxide can inhibit the body's ability to send oxygen to organs and tissues Affected most are infants, the elderly and people suffering from res piratory problems such as asthma. People suffering from heart disease may experience chest pain. Owners are being notified of the recall by mail The emis sions work, which takes about an hour, will be free. The first phase of the recall began Wednesday for owners of 1985 through 1988 model vehicles, said Ale* Tsigdmos, a Chrysler spokesman in Michigan Owners of 1989 and 1990 Jeep Wranglers will be notified in about six months when parts become available. The EPA said during a rou tine emissions check of the 1989 vehicles, the agency spotted the emissions problem in the positive crankcase venti lation, or PCV, system, which ventilates gases back into the engine to be burned Chrysler agreed to recall the vehicles from 1985 through 1990 because the PCV sys tems are similar to the 1989 system The system's hose deteriorates over time, crack mg or ripping and leaking, the EPA said
