Subject:
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN 94-C-O3 STARTER MOTOR PINION STOP

Models Affected:
1994 PONTIAC TRANS SPORT, GRAND PRIX, SUNBIRD, GRAND AM AND BONNEVILLE

DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors has determined that certain 1994 Pontiac Trans Sport, Grand Prix, Sunbird, Grand Am and Bonneville model vehicles may have improperly heat treated starter motor pinion stop collars. This condition may result in a part failure causing slow engine crank speeds or an engine no start condition.

To prevent these conditions from occurring, dealers are to inspect and repair certain starter motors on vehicles indicated in the vehicles involved section. Starter motors with date codes of N093, N103, N113, N123, N133, N153, and N163 are to be repaired by replacing the pinion stop collar and retaining ring. No repairs are necessary on motors that fall outside of these date codes.
