Condition Involved, Dealer Action, Vehicles Involved & Owner Notification Information

CONDITION INVOLVED


General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in some 1987 Grand Am models equipped with 2.5L engines and five-speed manual transaxles. The fuel feed or fuel return hose at the engine may rub against a shift lever on the 5-speed transaxle. With time, a hole could be rubbed through the hose and fuel could leak into the engine compartment. Under certain circumstances, this could result in an underhood fire.
DEALER ACTION


To prevent the possibility of the aforementioned condition occurring on the vehicles involved, dealers are to replace the Fuel Feed and Return Hose Pipe Assemblies in accordance with the Vehicles Involved and Service Procedure section of this bulletin.

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number computer listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with owners involved in this campaign.

These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow up necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
