PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 93C06 - REMOTE ENGINE OIL FILTER ADAPTER
Model and Year:
1992 4-WHEEL DRIVE S10 TRUCKS W/ 4.3L ENGINES
TO: All Chevrolet Dealers
General Motors has determined that certain 1992 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) S10 trucks and utility vehicles with 4.3L engines (RPO's LB4 or L35; VIN's
Code Z or W) may have remote engine oil filter adapters that were improperly machined. The condition is internal to the adapter and would not give any
outward indication of a problem. However, an improperly machined adapter could result in the engine oil not properly flowing through the oil filter
and/or cooler (if equipped).
To correct this condition, dealers are to install a new remote engine oil filter adapter, and change the engine oil and oil filter.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1992 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) S10 trucks and utility vehicles with 4.3L engines built within the VIN breakpoints:
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle
Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data
furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.
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 law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up
necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiveing a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently
assigned.
