PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 90C11 CONVERTIBLE TOP LATCH DISENGAGEMENT
Model and Year:
1989-90 CHEVROLET CAMAROS WITH CONVERTIBLE TOPS (IROC AND RS MODELS) - (G.M. BODY STYLE 67)
TO:
ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
General Motors has determined that certain 1989-90 Chevrolet Camaros (IROC and RS models) equipped with convertible tops (G.M. body style 67)
may have faulty convertible top latch handles. These latch handles may loosen which could lead to latch disengagement when a twisting load is applied.
Additionally, the guide pins on the latch handles may fatigue and break. Either of these conditions may result in the front of the convertible top coming
away from the windshield frame.
To correct this condition, new latch handle assemblies will be installed with integral anti-ramp stops and improved stainless steel locating pins (with
flats).
