THIS MESSAGE IS BEING SENT TO INVOLVED DEALERS ONLY.
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 adequately repair within 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 appointments with owners and to repair their
vehicles as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the copy of the letter which is being sent to owners, the owner is being instructed to contact the
nearest GMC Zone Office if the dealer does not remedy the condition within five days of the mutually agreed upon service date. If the condition is not
remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1992 C/K light trucks. Some of these vehicles have an
improperly installed pivot bolt holding the brake pedal to its support bracket. In these few cases, the pivot bolt was only hand started into the bracket
weld nut without engaging the locking material on the bolt. It is possible for the bolt to disengage from the nut resulting in a loss of braking action. If this
condition occurs while the vehicle is in motion, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to inspect for hand-started brake pedal bolts and torque them to specification.
