Owner Letter

March, 1996

Dear Pontiac Sunbird Owner:

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that some 1992 Pontiac Sunbird model vehicles equipped with the 2.0L (RPO LE4-VIN Engine Code H) engine were built with a hose in the crankcase ventilation system which may fail prematurely.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To prevent this condition from occurring, your dealer will replace the [1][2]PCV hose with a revised part. This service will be performed for you at no charge.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

Please contact your Pontiac dealer at your earliest convenience for the necessary repairs. Please bring the owner reply card to your Pontiac dealer. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest time possible. Please contact your dealer if you need to know how much time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact the Pontiac Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-762-2737.

If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.

If your dealer and the Customer Assistance Center are unable to remedy this condition within a reasonable time, you may wish to advise the Environmental Protection Agency at the following address: Director, Manufacturer's Operations Division (6405J), United States Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460.

To ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle by State or Federal Law, and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Also, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test if the recall work is not completed.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires that vehicle emission recall campaigns be completed prior to California registration renewal. Uncorrected emission recall campaigns will result in the inability to renew your California vehicle registration. At the time of emission campaign completion, your California dealer will issue a "Campaign Certificate of Completion". Keep this certificate and, if required, present it to the Department of Motor Vehicles when renewing your California registration as proof of campaign completion.

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