Owner Letter

August 15, 1989

Dear Chevrolet Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that certain 1988 Chevrolet K10 series trucks produced at Oshawa Truck Assembly with incorrect tire information printed on the certification label. The trucks were assembled with the correct size tires, but the tire size data on the certification labels is incorrect. The incorrect tire information fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FKVSS) 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

WHAT WE WILL DO

Since a new certification label can be easily installed and to reduce your inconvenience, we are enclosing a label with installation instructions. The label may be installed by you on the driver's door of your vehicle. However, if you desire, your Chevrolet dealer will install the label for you at no charge.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

Please let us know if you elect to install the label yourself by completing the enclosed postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us. This assists us in assuring that all affected vehicles have been corrected. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.

Should you choose to have your local Chevrolet Dealer install the label for you, please bring the owner reply card along with the enclosed label to your servicing Chevrolet dealer. Presentation of this card and label to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time.

Your Chevrolet dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to insure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. If, however, you take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five (5) days, we recommend you contact the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center by calling 1-800-222-1020.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
