Owner Letter

Dear Pontiac Owner:

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that some 1992-93 Pontiac Sunbird model vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine may have been assembled with the incorrect coolant pump. Coolant may leak past the internal coolant pump seal and into the pump bearings. This may cause premature bearing failure resulting in a coolant pump knocking noise. If not repaired, this condition may result In a loose timing belt tensioner which could cause the engine to fail to start.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers will inspect your vehicle's coolant pump and, if necessary, replace the coolant pump.

This service will be provided for you at no charge.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
