Subject:
PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 86CO6 WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP FAILURE
Model and Year:
1985 AND 1986 CHEVROLET "C/K" MODEL LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS
TO:
ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
General Motors has become aware of a condition on 1985 and some 1986 Chevrolet "C/K" Model Light Duty Trucks where the windshield washer pump
motor, located behind the plastic reservoir, may become corroded and shorten the life of the motor. A crimp between the inner and outer fender could
divert water onto the pump during a car wash or heavy rain or overfilling of the washer jar could cause drenching of the pump motor, thus causing the
pump motor to corrode.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, involved owners will be mailed a plastic shield to be installed on the reservoir to prevent the
possibility of water entering the pump.
In addition, a special policy adjustment will be provided on the washer pump for 5 years from vehicle in-service date on all involved vehicles.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are all 1985 Chevrolet "C/K" model trucks and certain 1986 Chevrolet "C/K" model trucks built within the following breakpoints:
