Owner Notification Letter
Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain early production 1983 Z28 Camaros equipped with
5.0 liter engines (RPO LU5 or LG4). These cars were assembled with fiberglass hoods. The hood inner and outer panels could separate. If separation
were to occur while the car is in motion, the hood outer panel could fold back and block the driver's view. This could result in a vehicle crash without
prior warning.
To prevent this from occurring on your Camaro, please contact your Chevrolet Dealer on or after the date shown below to arrange a service date. Your
dealer will inspect the hood. If required, a new hood will be installed. This service will be performed at no charge to you.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Chevrolet Dealer. It is estimated that parts will be available on May 11, 1983. The labor
time to complete the inspection is approximately 20 minutes. If the dealer must replace the hood, the labor time will range from 3 to 4 hours. Please
allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
Your Chevrolet Dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you
take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five days, we recommend you
contact your nearest Chevrolet Zone Office, either in person or by telephone. The Zone Office will assist you and your dealer in getting your vehicle
corrected. The locations and telephone numbers of the Zone Offices are listed in your Owner's Manual.
After contacting your dealer and the Zone Office, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without charge within a
reasonable time, you may wish to write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20590, or call 800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents use 426-0123).
The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist them in making the necessary correction to your
vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid owner reply card and
returning it to us.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your safety and continued satisfaction with our
products.
