I would imagine it has something to do with the recall that has to do with the catalytic converter...

That usually means there's been a change to something emissions-related. Might want to pull the recall / TSB history for your vehicle and match what was done to it with the date on the sticker. Nothing to worry about, though.

Hmm, I have a similar sticker, except its directly above the radiator, right where you open up the hood, and mine is a '99. I've wondered this for a while too.

Call a dealer and give them the info off the sticker they can look it up for you,have your vin # handy to. Got the same sticker under the hood of my dodge p/u. Its a notification so anyone that works on it knows a certain recall has been performed.they can also check to see if there is any others that haven't been done yet. My dodge even has something written on the sticker about reflashing the computer.

Which would be a 2000 model year.

Since the TSB number is on the sticker, I looked it up at Alldata. You can't actually read the TSB without buying something, but its title is "PCM - Rough idle/MIL on."

Or you could google the TSB number (without the dashes).

1801301 - ROUGH IDLE AT COLD TEMPERATURES
Date: 06/11/01
Model Year(s): 2000
Description: Some vehicle engines may exhibit a rough idle and / or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) light on condition upon initial start-up after a cold soak when temperatures are below 50 degrees F (10 degrees c). This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software (Cal level 00Cal15C).

I'm too lazy to search right now, but haven't we had a couple of threads in the last few months about similar rough idle problems?

Anytime the PCM is reflashed by the dealer to a new 'updated' software, they have to put that sticker on by federal law. I believe it's an EPA requirement.
