General Motors and the Environmental Protection Agency have determined that certain 1987 Chevrolet Spectrums equipped with 1.5L non-turbo engines (VIN code "7" RPO LC5) might exceed Federal Emission Standards. As a result, these engines might fail state mandated emissions tests.

To correct this condition, involved vehicles will have a new service PROM installed. Also, the oxygen sensor will be checked for proper operation.

VEHICLES INVOLVED





Involved are certain 1987 Chevrolet Spectrums equipped with 1.5L nonturbo engines (VIN code "7" - RPO LC5) built within the following VIN breakpoints.

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, owner name and address data, and were furnished to involved dealers with the original campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.

These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
