Number 90-C-07 Date 10/90Subject: FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION STRUTS
MODELS AFFECTED 1990 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX
(FAIRFAX BUILT ONLY)
TO: ZONE MANAGERS
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has determined that certain Fairfax built 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix model vehicles may have right front or left and/or right rear suspension struts with low tensile strength at the piston to rod weld. This may result in a fatigue fracture at the piston to rod weld causing the vehicle to experience a "pounding" noise, degradation of ride quality and/or poor wheel alignment.
DEALER ACTION
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, involved vehicles will either have the right front strut cartridge replaced, or both rear struts inspected and have one or both struts replaced if specific date codes are present.
