V86

FCA US LLC, has determined that certain [2015-2017 Model Year (LA) Dodge Challenger Hellcat
and 2015-2017 Model Year (LD) Dodge Charger Hellcat] vehicles equipped with a 6.2L supercharged
engine may release air pollutants which exceed Federal and California standards.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
Degradation of the catalytic converter may result in your vehicle [1] exceeding the emissions
standards for Non-Methane Organic Gas (NMOG) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx).
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT EMISSIONS ISSUE?
FCA will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will update
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software and replace both catalytic converters and the
oxygen sensors. The estimated repair time is two hours. In addition, your dealer will require
your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which require
more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service
appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your
dealership.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The State of California will require the completion of this emission recall repair prior to vehicle
registration renewal after normal business conditions are reestablished. Owners can check the
status of when this will occur by checking CARB’s website https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/emissionsrecall-registration. Your dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emission Recall Proof of
Correction Form after the Emission Recall service is performed. Be sure to save this form since
the California Department of Motor Vehicles may require that you supply it as proof that the
Emission Recall has been performed.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emissions warranty provisions, it is
recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could
be determined as lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle.
