Reference:
Dealer notification letter # 281T, December, 1989, for 1988-9 AS-Body vehicles with heavy duty trailer tow package and located
in Northern U.S.
The initial notification for recall # 281T involved 1988 and 1989 model year AS-Body vehicles equipped with trailer tow and operating in cold climates.
The action was taken to eliminate the potential for transmission damage due to oil flow restriction through the oil cooler during cold weather.
The recall population is now being expanded to also include certain additional 4- speed transmission equipped AS, AC and AY-Body vehicles with
external transmission oil-to-air coolers operating in frigid climate regions.
Note:
