Defect/Vehicle Involved

General Motors has determined that certain 1995 Pontiac Sunfire model vehicles may not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 101, "Control Location, Identification, and Illumination". The instrument panel cluster trim plate/bezel on some of these vehicles may sag and cover the light emitting diode (LED) portion (lighted pointer above PRNDL) of the transaxle shift indicator display. If this occurs, the driver of the vehicle may not be able to determine, with certainty, the actual position of the transaxle gear selector. This could result in a driver inadvertently leaving the transaxle of a parked or idling vehicle in DRIVE, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL rather than PARK, or selecting an incorrect transaxle shift position while driving the vehicle. If either of these situations should occur, a vehicle crash could occur, and vehicle occupants and/or pedestrians could be injured.

To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to install a new instrument panel cluster trim plate/bezel assembly which is not subject to this condition.





Involved are certain 1995 Pontiac Sunfire model vehicles built within the VIN ranges.

Complete vehicle identification number computer listings will be furnished to all involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. These listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to 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.
