PRODUCT CAMPAIGN BULLETIN
SUBJECT:
REPLACE BOLT AND SEAL WASHER AT SUCTION PIPE AND DISCHARGE LINE (COMPRESSOR SIDE), EVACUATE/RECHARGE A/C
SYSTEM REFRIGERANT, IF NECESSARY
YEAR and MODEL:
2000 SATURN L-SERIES VEHICLES (ALL MODELS)
TO: ALL SATURN RETAILERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
Saturn has decided that certain 2000 model year Saturn L-Series vehicles were produced with improperly tightened suction pipe and discharge line bolts
at the air conditioning compressor. If either bolt is not adequately tightened, a refrigerant leak will occur, and the air conditioner will not blow cold air.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, Retailers will conduct an air conditioner system performance test and tighten the suction pipe and
discharge line bolts. If a leak is found, Retailers will replace the suction pipe and discharge line bolts and seal washers, and evacuate and recharge the air
conditioning system.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Only selected 2000 model year L-Series Saturn vehicles within the following VIN range will require this campaign:
YY645945 - YY679868
You must verify campaign involvement through your AS400 system. It is important to note that campaign claims will only be paid on involved vehicles.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of all involved vehicles will be notified of the campaign by Saturn. (Refer to the owner letter shown in this bulletin.)
FACILITY VIN LISTING
A list of vehicles assigned to you (Facility VIN Listing), which our records indicate were sold by or shipped to you (or are located in close proximity to
your facility) is not shown.
The listing contains:
^
Owner's name with address and telephone number;
^
Complete vehicle identification number (VIN); and
^
VINs of vehicles, which according to Saturn records are in retail stock.
The Facility VIN Listing (with owner information) is furnished to involved Retailers with the Product Campaign Bulletin. Although these vehicles are
assigned to your facility, it is important to note that owners may elect to have their vehicle serviced at the Saturn Retail Facility of their choice.
Those Retailers not involved initially in this campaign will receive a message at the top of a blank Facility VIN Listing that states: NO VEHICLES
ASSIGNED AT THIS TIME FOR CAMPAIGN 00-C-10.
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 the law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow up
necessary to complete this campaign. Those records updated with the California DMV registration information will have the following message printed
adjacent to the appropriate VIN: "OWNER INFORMATION UPDATED BY CALIFORNIA DMV; PUBLICATION PROHIBITED."
