Campaign - Reroute The Heater Outlet Hose Assembly: Overview

9232OLDS03

Number: 92-C-05

Date: May 1992

Section: 1B


Subject:
HEATER OUTLET HOSE ASSEMBLY

Models/Years:
1992 CUSTOM CRUISER


CONDITION

General Motors has determined that certain 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser model vehicles may have been built with the heater outlet hose routed above the heater inlet hose assembly allowing the heater inlet hose to contact the A.I.R. piping. This contact may cause the heater inlet hose to become damaged by either abrasion or heat.

To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to properly route the heater outlet hose assembly and to inspect the inlet hose for damage, replacing the inlet hose if necessary.


VEHICLES INVOLVED

Certain 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser model vehicles built within the following VIN breakpoints:


Plant Through and
Year Model Model Name Plant Code Beginning Including

1992 B-wagon Custom Cruiser Willow Run W NW301363 NW301569


About 23% of the vehicles within the breakpoints listed above were corrected at the assembly plant prior to being shipped to the dealer and will not require inspection/correction by the dealer. All subject vehicles which are listed on the dealers campaign printout will require inspection, and, as necessary, correction as outlined in the SERVICE PROCEDURE section of this bulletin. Other suspect vehicles should be checked for campaign involvement by utilizing the Vehicle Information Service System (V.I.S.S.).


DEALER ACTION

Dealers are to service all vehicles involved in this campaign, at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used car inventory, or it is in your dealership for service, you are to ensure the campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Dealers are to contact owners of vehicles recently sold from your new or used vehicle inventory and arrange for the campaign correction to be performed.
