■ GOOD MORNING
► WASHINGTON (AP) —
Chrysler Corp is recalling
about 180.000 AMC Jeeps and
Eagles lhai exceed the federal
tailpipe standard for carbon
monoxide, the Environmental
Protection Agency said
Wednesday
The vehicles being recalled
are the Jeep CJ 7, Wrangler.
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
