Owner's Letter
October 19, 1989Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to inform you that Chevrolet Motor Division is conducting a recall campaign that includes your vehicle.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1989 Chevrolet R/V 2500 Series Suburbans equipped with 5.7L engines, and built at the Flint Assembly Plant, were shipped without the specified emission (tune-up) label. Without the correct label, these vehicles do not meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To correct this condition, it will be necessary to install a new emission label on the radiator support. Since a label can be easily installed, and to reduce your inconvenience, we are enclosing a label with installation instructions. The label may be installed by you on the radiator support of your vehicle. However, if you desire, your Chevrolet dealer will install the label for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please let us know if you elect to install the label yourself by completing the enclosed postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us. This assists us in assuring that all affected vehicles have been corrected. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.
Should you choose to have your local Chevrolet Dealer install the label for you, please bring the owner reply card, along with the enclosed label, to your servicing Chevrolet dealer. Please contact your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
LABEL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Open hood of vehicle.
2. Using a clean, dry cloth: wipe dirt, oil, etc. from top center of the radiator support (see illustration below).
3. Remove backing from the new label and apply to clean panel.
4. Beginning at the center of the label and using a clean, dry cloth, smooth and secure the new label. Any air bubbles can be removed by puncturing with a pin and smoothing with the cloth.
NOTICE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE NEW LABEL ONCE IT HAS BEEN APPLIED, AS THIS WILL DEFACE THE LABEL.
