DEALER ACTION
To reduce the possibility of this occurring on vehicles involved, dealers are to install the labels on all affected vehicles in new and used vehicle stock
prior to their sale.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to the owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the
campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.
Owners of vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer, and arrangements made to make the required
modification according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Open left front door and clean the surface of the old label with soap and water and wipe dry.
2.
Peel new label from paper back and apply both sections of the label over the old label.
3.
Install a campaign correction label on the radiator baffle where it is readily visible.
Each vehicle modified in accordance with the instructions outlined in this Product Campaign Bulletin will require a "Campaign Identification
Label." Each label provides a space to include the five (5) digit dealer code of the dealer performing the campaign service. This information may be
inserted with a typewriter or ballpoint pen.
Each "Campaign Identification Label" is to be located on the radiator core support in an area which will be visible when the vehicle is brought in by the
owner for periodic servicing.
Apply "Campaign Identification Label" only on a clean dry surface.
LABEL INFORMATION
Certification and Tire Placard labels bearing the VIN of each vehicle involved will be forwarded directly to owners of record with instructions for
installation. Owners may install the label personally or request that it be installed by your dealership. Should this occur the label is to be installed at no
charge to the owner and a claim submitted.
Dealers having vehicles to correct, will be forwarded a specific label for each VIN listed that Oldsmobile records indicate to be in dealer inventory,
along with the Campaign Bulletin.
If a label is received mutilated or unusable, please contact your zone office for information on obtaining a duplicate label.
