Owner Letter
July 1996
Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1996 Chevrolet Lumina and Monte Carlo model vehicles.
These vehicles may have been assembled with one of the four (4) brake booster tabs not properly located in the front of dash reinforcement assembly. If
this condition were present in a situation where stopping distances were minimal, a vehicle crash could potentially occur, without prior warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers are to inspect for proper booster installation. Boosters found to be improperly located will
be removed and reinstalled properly. This service will be performed at no charge to you.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Chevrolet dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer.
The labor time necessary to perform this service correction is between fifteen minutes to two and one half hours. Please ask your dealer if you wish to
know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the
shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.
Your Chevrolet dealer is best equipped to provide service to ensure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. If, however, 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 (5) days, we recommend you contact
the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center by calling 1-800-222-1020.
After contacting your dealer and the Customer Assistance Center, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without
charge and 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 1-800-424-9393 (Washington D.C. residents use 202-366-0123).
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.
