1. Your Legal Rights Under These Limited Warranties
The warranties contained in this booklet are the only express warranties that FCA US LLC ("FCA US") makes for your vehicle. These warranties give you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state. For example, you may have some implied warranties, depending on the state where your vehicle was sold or is registered.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time periods covered by the express written warranties contained in this booklet.
If you use your vehicle primarily for business or commercial purposes, then these implied warranties do not apply and FCA US LLC completely disclaims them to the extent allowed by law. The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
1.1. Incidental And Consequential Damages Not Covered
Your warranties do not cover any incidental or consequential damages connected with your vehicle's failure, either while under warranty or afterward.
Examples of such damages include:
- Lost time
- Inconvenience
- The loss of the use of your vehicle
- The cost of rental vehicles, gasoline, telephone, travel, or lodging
- The loss of personal or commercial property
- The loss of revenue
Some states do not allow incidental or consequential damages to be excluded or limited, so this exclusion may not apply to you.

Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer. We strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to your selling dealer.

If you are traveling temporarily in Canada or Mexico, and your vehicle remains registered in the United States, your FCA US LLC warranty still applies. Service may be requested at any authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealership.
C. In A Foreign Country Outside Of North America
If you are traveling temporarily outside of North America, and your vehicle remains registered in the United States:
- You should take your vehicle to an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer. They should give you the same warranty service you receive in the United States.
- If the authorized dealership charges you for repairs which you feel should be covered under your warranty, please get a detailed receipt for the repairs done. Make sure that this receipt lists all warranty repairs and parts that were involved. This receipt will be similar to the one used by the dealer who normally services your vehicle.
- When your vehicle returns to the United States, contact the FCA US LLC Customer Assistance Center in "section 7.2" for reimbursement consideration. You will normally need to provide a copy of the receipt, your vehicle registration and any other relevant documents.
- Reimbursement will not be considered if the vehicle does not return to the United States.
D. If You Move
If you move to another country, be sure to contact the FCA US LLC Customer Assistance Center in "section 7.2" and the customs department of the destination country before you move. Vehicle importation rules vary considerably from country to country. You may be required to present documentation of your move to FCA US LLC in order to continue your warranty coverage.

Be sure to include your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), odometer mileage at the time of service and current mailing address. We will process the claim based on vehicle and service eligibility.

6.4. Getting Service Under The Federal Emission Warranties
A. Further Steps You Can Take, And How To Get More Information
To get warranty service — even if you are traveling — take your vehicle to any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer. FCA US LLC recommends that you take your vehicle to a dealer who sells the same make of vehicle as yours. That dealer will perform any warranty service without charging you for diagnosis, parts or labor.

FCA US LLC will reply to you in writing within 30 days after receiving your complaint or within the time limit required by local or state law. If the owner is not notified within 30 days that a warranty claim is denied, the manufacturer must repair the vehicle free of charge.

7. How To Deal With Warranty Problems
7.1. Steps To Take
A. In General
Normally, warranty problems can be resolved by your authorized dealer's sales or service departments. That is why you should always talk to your authorized dealer's service manager or sales manager first. But if you are not satisfied with your dealer's response to your problem, FCA US LLC recommends that you do the following:
Step 1:
Discuss your problem with the owner or general manager of the authorized dealership.
Step 2:
If your authorized dealer still cannot resolve the problem, contact the FCA US LLC Customer Assistance Center. You will find the address in "section 7.2".
B. What FCA US LLC Will Do
Once you have followed the two steps described in "section 7.1 A", a FCA US LLC representative at FCA US LLC headquarters will review your situation. If it is something that FCA US LLC can help you with, FCA US LLC will provide an authorized dealer with all the information and assistance necessary to resolve the problem.

C. If Your Problem Still Is Not Resolved For Customers Residing In Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota And Montana ONLY
If you cannot resolve your warranty problem after following the two steps described in "section 7.1 A", and you live in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota or Montana ONLY, you can contact the FCA US LLC Customer Arbitration Process (CAP) in your area.
You may obtain a brochure describing FCA US LLC's Customer Arbitration Process, including an application, by calling 866-726-4636 for assistance.
This service is strictly voluntary, and you may submit your dispute directly to the Customer Arbitration Process (CAP) at no cost. The CAP is administered by an independent dispute settlement organization and may be contacted in writing at the following address:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
FCA US LLC Customer Arbitration Process
P.O. Box 727

- The identity of your servicing/selling dealer.
- The date(s) of repair(s) and vehicle mileage at the time.

Upon receipt of your request:
- The National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS) will acknowledge receipt of your request, by mail, within 10 days, and advise you whether or not your dispute is within the jurisdiction of the process.
- When your request is within jurisdiction, NCDS will request FCA US LLC and the dealer to present their side of the dispute. You will receive copies of their responses.
- While your dispute is pending NCDS, or FCA US LLC may contact you to see if your case can be settled by agreement. If a settlement is offered to you, FCA US LLC will ask you to sign a form that contains that settlement. Your case will then be closed. There is no requirement for you to participate in this settlement process.
- If you requested an oral hearing, a decision-maker will contact you to arrange a convenient time and place for a hearing. Usually, this will be at a dealership near you.
- If you request a documents-only review, a NCDS panel will review and decide your case. Neither you, the dealer nor FCA US LLC need be present.
- NCDS will send you a written Statement of Decision. This statement will include the decision, any action to be taken by the dealer or FCA US LLC and the time by which the action must be taken. The decision will be binding on the dealer and FCA US LLC but not on you unless you accept the decision.
- If any action is required on the part of the dealer or FCA US LLC you will be contacted within 10 days after the date by which the dealer or FCA US LLC must act to determine whether performance has been rendered.
- The entire dispute settlement process will normally take no longer than 40 days.
- The CAP dispute settlement procedure does not take the place of any state or federal legal remedies available to you. Whether or not you decide to submit your dispute to the process, you are free to pursue other legal remedies.
D. Notice Under State Lemon Laws
Some states have laws allowing you to get a replacement vehicle or a refund of the vehicle's purchase price under certain circumstances. These laws vary from state to state. If your state law allows, FCA US LLC requires that you first notify us in writing of any service difficulty that you may have experienced so that we can have a chance to make any needed repairs before you are eligible for remedies provided by these laws. In all other states, we ask that you give us written notice of any service difficulty. Send your written notice to the FCA US LLC Customer Assistance Center at the address in "section 7.2".

9.2. Where To Go For Maintenance
FCA US LLC recommends that you return to the dealer from whom you bought your truck for all maintenance service both during and after the warranty periods. Although you can get warranty service from any dealer who sells your particular make, returning to your selling dealer will help ensure that all your service needs are met and that you are completely satisfied. The dealership technicians are specifically trained to proficiently perform maintenance and repair procedures on your truck.
Authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealers will help ensure that all your service needs are met and that you are completely satisfied.
