SUBJECT:
96-C-32-FUEL INJECTOR ENCAPSULANT STRESS

MODELS:
1996 CHEVROLET CAVALIER, CORSICA, BERETTA AND S10

WITH 2.2L (RPO LN2) VIN ENGINE CODE 4 ENGINE

General Motors has determined that some 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier, Corsica, Beretta, and S10, GMC Sonoma and Pontiac Sunfire models equipped with the 2.2L (RPO LN2) VIN Engine Code 4 engine were built with some fuel injectors that may have been subjected to a stress of the plastic encapsulant. After an extended period of time and mileage, the fuel injectors in some of these vehicles may exhibit leakage of fuel vapor that may cause the vehicle to be out of compliance with evaporative emission standards.

To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to inspect the date codes of fuel injectors on the affected vehicles and if necessary, replace any fuel injectors with involved date codes.
