Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. This could be done by mailing to such customers a copy of the customer letter accompanying this bulletin. Campaign follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, please take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

When a California emissions campaign is completed by a GM dealer, the dealer must provide the vehicle owner a "Proof Of Correction Certificate" which the owner may need to present to the California Department Of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when renewing their vehicle registration. Without this correction certificate, the owner may be unable to renew their vehicle registration.
Additional Certificates can be obtained, at no charge, from Dealer Support Materials by calling 1-888-414-6322 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST). Ask for GM Item Number 1825 when ordering.
(Suggested Dealer Letter)
General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Campaign involving all 1995, 1996 and 1997 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird model vehicles equipped with 5.7L V8 engines. The Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.) pump emission control system on these vehicles may fail to operated and cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to illuminate. This condition may be due to corrosion of a solenoid internal to the A.I.R. pump.
We will install a new A.I.R. pump assembly kit that is designed to protect the A.I.R. pump system from failing due to internal corrosion. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange a service date.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
