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 owner has tendered it for repair. A failure to adequately repair within 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 owners 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 owner and to repair
their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copy of the letter which is being sent to owners, the owners are being instructed
to contact the nearest Chevrolet Zone Office if their dealer does not remedy the condition within five days of the agreed 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 INVOLVED
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain early production 1984 Chevrolet Citation and
Celebrity models equipped with a 2.5L RPO LR8 L4 Engine (VIN Code R). The fuel system in these vehicles may leak at the throttle body injection fuel
feed pipe connection. Under certain conditions this could result in an underhood fire. Such a fire could, in time, spread to the passenger compartment and
cause burn injuries to occupants remaining in the vehicle.
DEALER ACTION
Dealers are to replace the fuel feed pipe on all involved vehicles, per instructions outlined in this campaign bulletin.
