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 customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty (60) 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 customer 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 customer and to
repair their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copy of the letter that is being sent to customers, the customers are being
instructed to contact the Pontiac Customer Assistance Center if their dealer does not remedy the condition within five (5) days of the mutually agreed
upon service date. If the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Defect/Vehicle Involved
General Motors has determined that certain 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport model vehicles equipped with a 3.1L engine (LG6) fail to conform to Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 124, "Accelerator Control Systems". These vehicles were assembled with Throttle Cable Support Brackets that
may have excess stock, which may contact the throttle lever system. During certain operating conditions the throttle may fail to return in the specified
length of time. In this event, engine speed may not decrease to a level anticipated by the operator. Although the vehicle can still be stopped with the
service brakes, loss of accelerator control could result in a vehicle crash, without prior warning.
To prevent this condition from occurring and in order to comply with FMVSS 124, dealers are to replace the Throttle Cable Support Bracket.
Involved are certain 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport model vehicles equipped with a 3.IL engine (RPO LG6, VIN D) and built within the VIN breakpoints as
shown.
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle
Identification Number, customer name and address data, and are furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Customer name and address
data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in this campaign.
These listings may contain customer 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.
Parts Information/Customer Notification
NOTICE:
A pre-shipment of part number 24506662, will be sent to involved dealers the week of January 29, 1996. Pre-shipment will equal parts for 50% of the
number of vehicles to be repaired. Pre-shipment parts will be charged to the dealers open parts account.
Additional parts required to complete this campaign are to be obtained from General Motors Service Parts Operations (GMSPO). To ensure these parts
will be obtained as soon as possible, they should be ordered from GMSPO on a "C.I.O." order with no special instruction code, but on an advise code
