To:All Pontiac Dealers
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 sixty 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 owner 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 Pontiac Customer Assistance Center 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, owners are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Defect and Vehicles Involved
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1984 through 1988 Pontiac model vehicles equipped
with cruise control on certain gasoline & diesel engines. A small nylon bushing in the cruise control servo bail (bracket) may slip out of place. This will
not affect the operation of the cruise control, but it may cause intermittent increases in engine speed or dieseling (engine run-on with ignition off). If the
vehicle is not serviced and the nylon bushing remains out of place, the servo rod assembly could wear through the bail. If the rod wears through the bail,
it may catch on other engine components and possibly result in a stuck throttle. Although the vehicle can still be stopped with the service brake, an
unexpected loss of accelerator control could result in a vehicle crash.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1984 through 1988 Pontiac vehicles equipped with Cruise Control (RPO K34) and 5.OL or 5.7L engines within the following VIN
