Plymouth issued a notice about the wheels no longer being available on Sept 6, 1968 - more info at http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/PIBs/1969/pib_3_page2.jpgFour days later on Sept 10, 1968, this letter was sent out - http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/imag...209-10-1968.jpgA week later on Sept 17th, 1968, another notice was sent - http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/imag...el%20recall.jpgOn December 13th, they were officially cancelled. More info at http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/PIBs/1969/pib_8.jpgSPDs were never intended to be actual build dates, so I am sure there are early cars with the wheels from a few different SPDs.

Where did this come from? Curious how the XX29 cars could have any, since there builds where at, but really after the letters. Would seem that Dodge would not let them leave Creative even if they had those wheels on at the time. It's in the list but early XX cars had XS VINs so I don't think you are getting a breakdown between R/Ts / 500s / Daytonas

the list is based on the US shipped OPTION & ACCESSORY REPORTS cars "scheduled" to be built with the "RECALL" wheels would make the list whether or not they were actually installed or removed before shipping to a dealership. the "RECALL" was before the cars were "officially" available for sale - none should've been sold to a retail customer there were 6 Charger 500s "scheduled" before the wheel recall - ALL HEMI and assumedly the reason for pics like this one

Dan, are you sure no cars were devivered to the customer with W23 wheels installed? NO the recall notice went out to the dealerships before the cars were to be "officially" for sale - so they would've had sufficient time to honor the notice of recall (if they were letter of the law abiding dealerships) - but some dealers sold cars before they were supposed to also I'd bet there was some small percentage of W23 cars built/delivered/sold/driven on their original wheels - I'd also doubt any late-August/early-September W23 spec'd cars left the factory w/recall wheels installed

Does the 56 number of XS29/XX29 Charger R/T & 500 also include XP29 Chargers? Because I have a XP29H9 Charger with a SPD of 9/02 that is coded for W23 wheels. no, the number does not include XP29s the way the numbers (& its purpose) were kept by Chrysler was to track OPTION installation rates - the OPTIONS & ACCESSORY REPORT shows 0.0% for the base V8 XP29 Charger with W23 "cast center ROAD wheels" ..... but based on the 65,068 US spec. '69 V8 XP29s built - any production number under 33 units will still equal 0.0% my understanding of how the numbers were calculated would lead to:47-65 1969 CHARGER R/T & 500 w/W23 (US spec.) & 0-32 1969 CHARGER w/W23 (US spec.) total 47-97 1969 CHARGERs w/W23 (US spec.) can you share pics of the b'cast sheet?

Aug 28 is the date in the letter that Chrysler states as last Date they may have still been on car leaving factory.

the first 6 HEMI Charger 500s were "SCHEDULED" 8/21/68 I don't know when they were built or how long they were at Creative but I'd guess NONE of them had "recall" wheels on them when they were shipped to a dealership
