Subject:
PRODUCT SAFETY - CAMPAIGN 95-C-43 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE LOCK CLIP RETENTION
Model and Year:
1995 C/K TRUCKS WITH M30/MT1
To: All Chevrolet Dealers
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be
adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty (60) days after tender of a vehicle
is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time.
If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the owner may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no
charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
To avoid having to provide these burdensome solutions, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each owner and to repair
their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the copy of the letter that is being sent to owners, the owners are being instructed to contact
the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center if their dealer does not remedy the condition within five (5) days of the mutually agreed upon service date. If
the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Defect & Vehicles Involved
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has determined that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in CERTAIN 1995 C/K model trucks with M30/MT1
automatic transmissions. A condition exists where the transmission shift-cable lock clip may back out of its installed position resulting in loss of cable
adjustment. Loss of adjustment could cause the transmission to not obtain mechanical "PARK" when the shift lever is placed in the "PARK" position. If
this occurred, the "PARK" indicator light would not illuminate. However, if the driver failed to notice the indicator light was not illuminated and did not
apply the parking brake, unwanted vehicle movement could occur.
To correct this condition, dealers will adjust the shift cable and install a redundant lock clip.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1995 C/K model trucks with M30/MT1 automatic transmissions and built within the VIN breakpoints as shown.
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle
Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data
furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign
These listings may contain owner names arid addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up
necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
