The yields of Ar recoil ions produced in collisions with 16-MeV O{sup {ital q}+} ({ital q}=3--8) were measured in coincidence with one- and two-electron capture by the projectile. Time-of-flight analysis identified the charges of the Ar recoil ions and enabled the determination of charge-state distributions. The independent-electron approximation was employed along with a simple exponential parametrization of the ionization and capture probabilities to calculate the cross sections for multiple ionization accompanied by one- and two-electron capture. By accounting for direct {ital L}-shell ionization and Auger multiplication of {ital L}-shell vacancies, good agreement between calculated and measured charge-state distributions was attained.
