Date
September, 1990
Subject:
GENERATOR LIGHT "ON" WITH IGNITION OFF AND/OR NO GENERATOR OUTPUT
MODELS AFFECTED
1989 PONTIAC LEMANS WITH 2.0L LT2 ENGINE
TO:
ALL PONTIAC DEALERS
General Motors has determined that some 1989 Pontiac LeMans with 2.0L TBI Engine (RPO LT2) may develop a condition whereby the generator light
stays on with the ignition off or has no generator output. The fusible link may overheat and cause loss of insulation from adjacent wires. This may result
in an electrical short between the generator output lead-and lamp wire causing a regulator failure.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealer will revise the generator output wires.

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle
Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data
furnished will enable dealers 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 other 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 dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
