resulting in an engine compartment fire without prior warning.
To prevent the possibility of this occurring, dealers are to replace the windshield washer bottle bracket on vehicles involved as directed in Product
Campaign Bulletin 87-C-06.
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 owners 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 an appointment with each owner and to repair
their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copy of the letter which is being sent to owners, the owners are being instructed
to contact the nearest Oldsmobile Zone Office if their 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 on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
If your dealership has vehicles involved in this campaign, you will receive with the campaign bulletin two lists of Vehicle Identification Numbers, owner
names and addresses: One by VIN sequence; one in alphabetical sequence by owner. This data will enable you to follow-up with involved owners.
We urge you to limit the use of these lists to the follow-up needed for this campaign. Names and addresses from State Vehicle Registration files may be
included; it is illegal in many states to use such data outside of campaigns.
Enclosed with this letter are:
Two Product Campaign Bulletins 87-C-06 Copy of Owner Letter
Dealers with vehicles to correct will also receive:
One Printout of Vehicles in VIN Sequence One Printout of Vehicles in Alphabetical Sequence by Owner
Your cooperation in completing this campaign as soon as possible will be greatly appreciated.
