REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Using alcohol and a clean shop towel, clean the certification label on the driver’s doorjamb. Allow the alcohol to dry.

2. Select the proper correction sticker option because there are two correction sticker options involved in this recall.
One has a manufacturing date of 8/’14 and the other is 9/’14. You must put the correction sticker with the same
production date as the certification label.
