Owner Notification Letter
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
PAS Inc., the final stage manufacturer of the 1993 GMC Typhoon, has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1993 GMC Typhoons. The Transmission Shift Cable end fitting may separate from the exterior conduit. In the event this were to occur, an inability to
change or select gears in the transmission, regardless of the position and manipulation of the interior gear selector lever, would result.
This condition potentially exists with a group of shift control cables date coded 321 or 322. By receiving this letter, your vehicle may be equipped with a
cable from this group. Therefore, it will be necessary to bring your vehicle to a GMC Truck dealer for inspection to determine if your vehicle is affected.
If your vehicle is equipped with a cable coded 321 or 322, the shift control cable will be replaced. If your vehicle is not affected, your vehicle will be
promptly returned to you. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Instructions for performing this service have been sent to your GMC Truck dealer. Please contact your dealer to arrange a service date. The labor time
necessary to perform this service will vary from 20 to 45 minutes. Please ask your dealer how much additional time will be needed to process your
vehicle.
Your GMC Truck dealer is best equipped to provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you take your
vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date and they do not service this condition on that date or within five days, we recommend you contact GMC
Truck Consumer Relations by telephone. Consumer Relations will assist you and your dealer in getting your vehicle corrected. The telephone number of
the Consumer Relations office is listed in your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Manual.
After contacting your dealer and GMC Truck Division, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without charge
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 800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents use 366-0123).
The postage paid owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction to your
vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please furnish us complete name and address of the person you sold or
traded your vehicle to and return the card to us.
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
product.
