Condition, Dealer Action, Vehicles Involved & Dealer Material Information

CONDITION

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1986 Centurys equipped with 2.8L engines and 108 amp generators. It is possible that the generator "Bat" terminal located on the rectifier end frame may contact the carburetor fuel inlet pipe. If this condition is not corrected, the "Bat" stud may rub through the terminal boot resulting in stud contact to the fuel pipe which could cause an underhood fire. Such a fire could, in time, spread to the passenger compartment and cause burn injuries to occupants remaining in the vehicle.

DEALER ACTION

To prevent the condition from occurring, clearance between the fuel pipe and generator "Bat" terminal is to be obtained by rotating the rectifier end frame as instructed in the Technical Procedure of this bulletin.
This correction must be done prior to vehicle delivery. Dealers are to contact owners of vehicles recently sold to have their vehicle corrected.

Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle or ownership, from this time forward.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.
