Subject:
PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 95-C-66 - REAR DOOR LATCH
Model and Year:
1995 CHEVROLET GEO METRO 4-DOOR SEDAN
To: All Chevrolet Geo Dealers
General Motors has determined that certain 1995 Chevrolet Geo Metro 4-Door Sedan model vehicles built with manual door locks, may experience an
inoperative rear door lock mechanism during outside rear door handle operation. This condition is caused by the deformation of the internal door latch
lever.
To prevent the possibility to this condition from occurring, dealers are to install a new reinforcing brace to support the latch lever and eliminate
deflection.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 1995 Chevrolet Geo Metro 4-door Sedan model vehicles 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 name and 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.
