Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1987 Chevrolet Cavalier models equipped, with 2.0L engines (RPO LL8).
These vehicles may have been assembled with an accelerator control cable which contained water. Should the water freeze while the vehicle is parked, the travel of the accelerator control cable could become restricted when the throttle is initially opened. If this occurs, it could prevent the throttle from returning to the closed (idle) position when the accelerator pedal is released. In this event, engine speed may not decrease to a level anticipated by the operator. Although the vehicle can still be stopped with the service brake, loss of accelerator control could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
To prevent this from occurring on your vehicle, please contact your Chevrolet Dealer to arrange a service date. The dealer will replace the accelerator control cable. This service will be completed for you at no charge.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Chevrolet Dealer. It is estimated that parts will be available to your dealer on February 19, 1987. The labor time to do the work will be about 20 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be necessary to process your vehicle.
Your Chevrolet Dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five days, we recommend you contact the nearest Chevrolet Branch Office, either in person or by telephone. The Branch Office will assist you and the dealer in getting your vehicle corrected. The locations and telephone numbers of the Branch offices are listed in your Owner's Manual.
After contacting your dealer and the Branch Office, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without charge and within a reasonable time, you may wish to write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh St., S.W.. Washington. D.C. 20590 or call 800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents use 426-0123).
