Owner Letter

January 4, 1993

Dear Chevrolet Caprice Owner:

This notice is sent to inform you that Chevrolet Motor Division is conducting a recall campaign that includes your vehicle.

General Motors has determined that certain 1993 Chevrolet Caprice model vehicles were built with the engine oil dipstick longer than required. This condition would cause a properly filled engine to indicate an over-filled reading on the dipstick. Draining the oil to correct this condition would result in the engine oil being approximately one quart low.

To correct this condition, a new dipstick with installation instructions has been mailed to you with this letter. You may install the dipstick or ask your Chevrolet dealer to do the service. If additional engine oil is needed after the new dipstick is installed, you may obtain the oil from your dealer at no charge.

Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.

If you should encounter a problem in receiving the dipstick, please call your local Chevrolet dealer. When calling your Chevrolet dealer, provide your complete name, complete address and vehicle identification number (as printed on the attached white owner reply card).

The enclosed postage paid owner reply card identifies your vehicle. If you perform this campaign yourself, please complete the card to indicate the campaign has been completed and return the card to us. If you decide to have your dealer perform this campaign, presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time. However, if you have sold or traded your vehicle, please furnish us the complete name and address of the person you sold or traded your vehicle to and return the card to us.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
