It should be recalled.
Your local small claims court will probably side with you against Chrysler and the dealership if you want to go that way.
The Emissons Warranty should cover ALL parts involved in pollution control
and in the end it is what the EPA officially says (or C.A.R.B in Ca)
not what Chrysler or the local dealerships says
that determines what parts are covered at no charge.
