1.
If the vehicle has an L6 engine, remove the # 2 spark plug.
2.
If the vehicle has an L4 engine, remove the # 1 spark plug.
Important
In the next step, there will be a 6-digit number stamped on the spark plug. The first 3 numbers are the date code.
3.
Inspect the spark plug for a date code. Refer to the illustration above. 203 = Date Code 3 = Year 1 = Line 1 = Shift.
^
If the date code on the spark plug is 154, 155, or 156, REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG. Inspect the rest of the spark plugs and replace the ones
that have the date codes 154, 155, or 156.
^
If the date code on the spark plug is NOT 154, 155, or 156, the spark plugs are not suspect. Reinstall the same spark plug. No further
inspection is required on the rest of the spark plugs.
4.
Install the GM Recall Identification Label.
Recall Identification Label
Place a Recall Identification Label on each vehicle corrected in accordance with the instructions outlined in this Product Recall Bulletin. Each label
provides a space to include the recall number and the five (5) digit dealer code of the dealer performing the recall service. This information may be
inserted with a typewriter or a ball point pen.
Put the Recall Identification Label on a clean and dry surface of the radiator core support in an area that will be visible to people servicing the vehicle.
For US and IPC
When installing the Recall Identification Label be sure to pull the tab to allow adhesion of the clear protective covering. Additional Recall Identification
Labels for US dealers can be obtained from Dealer Support Materials by ordering on the web from DWD Store.
Additional Recall Identification Labels for IPC dealers can be obtained from your Regional Marketing Office.
