RE:
CRUISE CONTROL BUSHING
On Thursday, March 16, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced to the news media that they have asked General
Motors to conduct a safety recall of about 1.9 million 1984-1988 GM cars to correct cruise control bushing failures on vehicles with certain 5.0 liter
gasoline V-8 (Engine Codes Y and 9) and 5.7 liter diesel (Engine Code N).
GENERAL MOTORS DOES NOT BELIEVE A SAFETY RECALL IS WARRANTED. OUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE
THEIR CARS WITH CONFIDENCE.
Our engineering analysis is continuing, and we will keep you advised of developments. Meanwhile, should customers contact you, you can assure them
they can continue driving with confidence.
If a customer insists on an examination of his vehicle, you should inspect to be sure the bushing is secure in its proper place. If a loose or missing
bushing is found, a new servo assembly should be installed. If the vehicle is out of warranty, please contact the zone office for guidance.
