PRODUCT EMISSION CAMPAIGN 88C31 - EMISSION NONCOMPLIANCE
Model and Year:
1988 CHEVROLET SPECTRUM W/1.5L ENGINE (EXCLUDING CALIFORNIA VEHICLES)
To: All Chevrolet Dealers
The Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that certain 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum model vehicles (excluding California vehicles) with 1.5L engines (RPO LC5) may be emitting pollutants in excess of the Federal emission standards. These standards were established to protect the public health and welfare from the dangers of air pollution. Excess emission of pollutants may cause a vehicle to fail state mandated emission tests.
To correct this condition, dealers are to replace the PROM in vehicles with manual transmissions or replace the spark delay valve in vehicles with automatic transmissions.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum model vehicles with 1.5L engines (excluding California vehicles) within the 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 are furnished to involved dealers with the 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.
