Defect and Vehicles Involved

DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1991-92 Chevrolet Caprice Police Cars (SEO 9C1) and Special Service Station Wagons (SEO 1A2) located in corrosion areas (Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin).

These vehicles may exhibit an electrical "ground out" condition between the 12 volt junction block and the metal inner fender skirt. This condition may cause a melted junction block, smoke, and burned underhood wiring, and may result in a disabled vehicle or a vehicle fire. This condition can occur while the vehicle is in operation, or with the vehicle parked and the ignition in the "OFF" position.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers are to inspect junction blocks for corrosion and install a shielding insulator under the junction block or replace the junction block in severe corrosion cases.
