Subject:
PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 95-C-71 - CENTER CONSOLE LIQUID SPILL SHIELD
Model and Year:
1993-95 CHEVROLET GEO PRIZM (EXCLUDING LSi MODEL)
To: All Chevrolet/Geo Dealers
General Motors has determined that certain 1993-95 Chevrolet Geo Prizm model vehicles may have been assembled in such a way as to allow any liquid
spilled in the rear center console to leak through to the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System (SIR) center sensor. Any liquid spilled in this area may
leak onto the circuit board and damage the sensor. This could cause the airbag warning light to illuminate and stay "ON" during normal driving
conditions. There is also a remote possibility that this condition could cause the airbag to inadvertently deploy.
To prevent the possibility of these conditions occurring, dealers are to inspect for evidence of liquids spilled into/onto the center sensor and connector.
Center sensors found to have experienced a pervious liquid spill will be replaced and the connector cleaned. Vehicles that have not experienced liquid
intrusion will have a vinyl sheet affixed to the top of the center sensor. This sheet will deflect any future liquid spills that may leak through the rear
center console and onto the center sensor.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 1993-95 Chevrolet Geo Prizm model vehicles (Excluding LSi Model), 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.
