Service Procedure

1. Remove the cylinder number 1 spark plug. (Refer to the appropriate model year L-Series, VUE, or ION service manual for spark plug removal procedure.)

Important
There is a six-digit number stamped on each spark plug. The first three numbers of this six-digit number provide the date code.





2. Inspect the cylinder number 1 spark plug for a date code. Refer to the illustration shown.

^ If the date code on the cylinder number 1 spark plug is 154, 155, or 156, replace the spark plug. Remove and inspect the rest of the spark plugs. Replace remaining spark plugs that have a 154, 155, 156 date code. (Refer to the appropriate model year L-Series, VUE, or ION service manual for spark plug removal procedure.)

^ If the date code on the cylinder number 1 spark plug is NOT 154, 155, or 156, the spark plugs are not involved in this recall. Reinstall the spark plug. (Refer to the appropriate model year L-Series, VUE, or ION service manual for spark plug installation procedure.) No further inspection is required.

3. Affix Recall Identification Label on a clean and dry surface of radiator core support, in an area clearly visible when hood is raised. (For more information, refer to "RECALL IDENTIFICATION LABEL")

Recall Identification Label





Upon completion of the recall, a Recall Identification Label and clear Protective Cover should be affixed on a clean, dry surface of the radiator core support in an area clearly visible when the hood is raised. Each label provides a space to print in ink (or type) the recall number (04-E-01) and the five (5) digit facility code of the retailer performing the recall service.

As a reminder, additional labels may be ordered from Saturn publications.
