Date August, 1991
To:
All Dealers
SUBJECT:
Emissions Recall 91E02 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve
Replacement on Certain 1988 and 1989-Model California Festivas
AFFECTED VEHICLES
All 1988 and 1989-Model California 1.3L engine and
manual transmission equipped Festivas.
REASONS FOR RECALL
A signal from the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
valve position sensor may cause the malfunction indicator light to falsely indicate that an emissions control component
repair is necessary. The valves may be working properly and emissions may not be affected, however, there is concern
that failure to correct this condition will lead owners to ignore malfunction indicator lights.
SERVICE ACTION
Festivas returned for service will have exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) valves replaced. The valve position sensor is part of the EGR valve body.
