DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors has determined that certain 1988 Chevrolet Cavalier model vehicles may fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 212, "Windshield Mounting".

These vehicles may exhibit poor bond adhesion between the windshield glass and mounting, which could allow the windshield to separate from the vehicle during a collision. Should windshield separation occur during a collision, an unbelted occupant could be ejected from the vehicle and personal injury could occur.

To correct this condition, dealers are to remove and reinstall the windshield on all involved vehicles according to the service procedure described in this bulletin.

This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in this campaign may not comply with the standard identified above. Under Section 108 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of these motor vehicles without first performing the campaign correction, your dealership may be subject to a civil penalty up to $1,000 for each such sale.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Owner notification will not be sent by Chevrolet Motor Division as dealers were instructed by their Area Manager-Sales (CMC) that the involved vehicles were to be held and not sold.
