call up your local dodge dealer, give them the vin and see what they say, if they say no call a diffrent one. ive herd of guys calling 3 or 4 dealerships and having the first ones saying no then the last saying yes

Didn't see this thread until last week, but I had mine replaced about 2 weeks ago for $275 at a local muffler shop. I called Chrysler this past Friday, and they said my VIN was not included. I'm hoping they stagger the VIN's, as "ACB97SLT" suggested in an earlier post.

I called the stealer and was told if I got the letter and was under the milage I would be covered. Good thing cuz my cat is starting to rattle. Hope the rest of you have some luck with this.
