REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that certain 1988 Chevrolet Cavalier coupes and convertibles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108; "Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment". The above referenced vehicles may have been assembled with rear lamp wiring harnesses that contain open or intermittent circuits effecting back-up lamp or license plate lamp operation. This condition may cause these lamps to flash or be inoperative.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring on your vehicle, the rear compartment wiring harness will be replaced. This service will be performed for you at no charge.

It is estimated that parts will be available on or about June 28, 1988. The labor time necessary to perform this service is approximately twenty (20) minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
