Recall - Incorrect Vehicle Emission Information Label: Overview

Model Year: 1984


Bulletin No: 84-C-12

File in Group: 6E

Number: 37

Date: Dec. 1985

SUBJECT: VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION LABEL

MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 CENTURYS EQUIPPED WITH 3.8L MFI ENGINES (ENGINE VIN CODE 3)


CONDITION

General Motors has determined that some 1984 Centurys have incorrect information on the vehicle emission control label. These labels state "NO IGNITION TIMING ADJUSTMENT." The label should state "IGNITION TIMING TO BE SET AT 15 DEGREES B..T.D.C." The emission label is required by the Federal Clean Air Act.

DEALER ACTION

Dealers are to install a new correct Vehicle Emission Control Information Label (number 25524875) on vehicles involved, as described in the Label Installation section of this bulletin.

Each dealer will receive a new label for all cars listed on their printout without an owner name and address. Those cars showing a dealer name or no name and address are the dealer's responsibility to correct. Additional labels may be obtained from your zone office.

Since the label can easily be installed, it is being mailed directly to owners of records. Owners may install the label personally or request that it be installed by your dealership. Should this occur, the label is to be installed at no charge to the owner. A copy of the owner letter is included with this bulletin.
