89chevy11Number: 89C10
Section: 6C
Date: June, 1989
Subject: PRODUCT EMISSION CAMPAIGN 89C10 INCORRECT FUEL FILLER HOUSING INSTALLED
Model and Year: 1989 M-VAN WITH REMOTE CONTROL LOCKING
FUEL FILLER DOORS (NO8)
To: All Chevrolet Dealers
General Motors has determined that certain 1989 Chevrolet M-Vans equipped with remote control locking fuel filler doors RPO (NOS) were shipped With the incorrect fuel filler housing. The fuel filler housing for leaded fuel option was inadvertently installed. The incorrect housing does not have the words "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" molded in along the bottom flange. Without these words, these vehicles do not meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
To correct this condition, it will be necessary to install a new label which reads "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY"
Since a label with the words "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" can be easily installed and to reduce owner inconvenience, the label will be sent with instructions directly to owners of record. Owners may install the label on the fuel filler door of their vehicle. However, if they desire, they may bring the label to their servicing Chevrolet Dealer for installation at no charge.
