IMPORTANT
A DCS stop delivery notice (DCS # 94-189) was sent to involved retailers on June 28, 1994. Involved vehicles, as indicated by VIN (Vehicle
Identification Number) computer listings, must be inspected or inspected and corrected before sale. If you do not receive a VIN computer listing with
this bulletin, our records indicate you have no involved vehicles. Involved vehicles may be sold after they have been inspection or inspected and
corrected as per the service procedure in this bulletin.
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has determined that certain 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva model vehicles may have had an incorrect concentration of engine coolant
(antifreeze) installed at the assembly plant. This may result in reduced freeze protection and reduced engine cooling performance.
To prevent this condition from occurring, retailers are to check the concentration of the engine coolant on involved vehicles, and where necessary, drain,
flush and fill the engine cooling system with coolant at the correct concentration on all affected vehicles.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are the following 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva vehicles (in "Ship to Retailer Code" order):
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification
Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved retailers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will
enable retailers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.
These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any 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 retailer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently
assigned.
Should a question arise concerning the campaign involvement of a specific vehicle(s) within the breakpoints listed above, retailers should access the
Vehicle Information Service System (V.I.S.S.) for verification.
All vehicles listed on the retailer printout will require correction. Other suspect vehicles should be checked for campaign involvement by utilizing the
Vehicle Information Service System (V.I.S.S.).
