Owner Letter
November, 1999
Dear Saturn Owner:
This notice is sent to inform you that Saturn is conducting a voluntary emission recall campaign that affects vehicles registered in the state of California.
Saturn has decided that certain 1994 Saturn DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) vehicles with California emission package (NB6) may fail to meet California
emission standards due to internal catalytic converter damage. These catalytic converters manufactured during the first quarter of the 1994 model year
were produced with an internal mat material that may degrade when exposed to extreme temperatures and/or excessive mechanical forces. Degradation
of converter mat material could result in vehicle symptoms such as underbody rattles, exhaust noise, and/or hesitation on acceleration.
What Saturn will do:
We will inspect and if necessary, replace your vehicle's catalytic converter at no charge to you. We will also reimburse you for any catalytic converter
replacement expense you have incurred on your vehicle during your ownership. If required, replacement of your catalytic converter will take about one
(1) hour, although some additional time may be required for paperwork and processing.
What you should do:
Contact your Saturn Retailer to arrange for a vehicle inspection and possible catalytic converter replacement, as well as any appropriate reimbursement
for past expense you have incurred.
Your Saturn retailer will have the knowledge and all the necessary paperwork required for processing any reimbursement to you. If a reimbursable repair
was performed by a non-Saturn facility, your Retailer will require specific documentation including original copies of paid receipts or invoices verifying
the repair, proof of payment, and proof of ownership of the vehicle at the time of the repair. It is important that you contact your Saturn Retailer at your
earliest convenience to have your vehicle inspected and repaired if necessary, regardless of any previous replacement of your vehicle's catalytic converter
