Owner Letter

Dear GMC Truck Owner,

Your complete satisfaction with your 1995 GMC Truck Jimmy is most important to us. Throughout a production run, enhancements typically are made to our vehicles as part of our continuous improvement process. This letter outlines one of these enhancements which GMC Truck would like to make available to you at no charge.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require vehicles sold in the U.S. to be able to pass specified crash tests with very little fuel leakage, if any. Your 1995 Jimmy surpasses the requirements of these safety standards. However, recent crash tests revealed that if a four door Jimmy with a substantial amount of fuel in the tank were involved in a frontal collision at speeds higher than those specified by the federal standard, a hole in the tank could occur resulting in fuel leakage. While fuel leakage is always possible in higher speed crashes, we were not satisfied with this performance. Consequently, we have developed a seal and cover for the exterior of your vehicle's fuel tank which will avoid this fuel leakage. Applying this seal and cover can be done without removing or disassembling your Jimmy's fuel system.

Instructions for performing this service has been sent to your GMC Truck dealer. This enhancement will be made to your vehicle at no charge to you. Please contact your GMC Truck dealer to arrange a convenient appointment and ensure the proper parts are available to complete this service. The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in installing this enhancement to your vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.

Your complete satisfaction with your 1995 GMC Truck Jimmy is important to us and we encourage you to see your GMC Truck dealer for this modification.
