Jsrrags… I know the part will be replaced under warranty by a dealer… I think if you don’t have a dealer to get the part from and replaced I’m not sure if you can get the part for free and do your own replacing… call Karen at Beck Chrysler 888-677-4961 or Rodney’s guy

Believe me YOU DON’T WANT TO DO IT YOURSELF!!!
Polaris said my VIN# did not fall within the recall. I don’t know why because my converter was the old open style. I gave up and ended up buying a used Gem with a good converter as well as other parts I can use or sell. Hopefully I will eventually break even.
Bassman good luck with your new GEM car… a running one beats a dead one
