ISSUE: The Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) decals list the incorrect spark plug information. The affected VECI decals are:

^ FOAE-9C485-DJV

^ FOAE-9C485-DGL

^ FOAE-9C485-DLH

Figure 1:

ACTION: If the VECI decal incorrectly lists spark plug AWSF-32PP, modify the VECI decal with a sharpie pen to indicate AGSP-32PP spark plugs, Figure 1.

NOTE: THE CORRECT SPARK PLUG INFORMATION IS PUBLISHED IN THE OWNER GUIDE, SHOP MANUAL, SERVICE PARTS LIST, ETC. THE CORRECT SPARK PLUGS WERE INSTALLED AT THE TIME OF ASSEMBLY.

Although the specified AWSF-32PP spark plugs do not exist, installation of AWSF type spark plugs could retard real engine timing.
