SUBJECT:
BATTERY LEAKAGE
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 ELECTRAS EQUIPPED WITH HEAVY DUTY BATTERIES
General Motors has determined that some 1985 Electra Coupes and Sedans were assembled with batteries that may leak acid. This acid may cause
possible degradation of the transmission cooler hoses and other components in the area of the battery.
To prevent these conditions from occurring on vehicles involved, dealers are to determine if the vehicle is equipped with original equipment battery
number 107 or aftermarket number 78A-60. If the vehicle is equipped with one of these batteries, they will be replaced with a new 78A-72 battery, the
transmission cooler hoses will be replaced, and any other battery acid affected component will be cleaned or replaced.
