THIS BULLETIN REPLACES PRODUCT SAFETY CAMPAIGN BULLETIN 95-C-56 ISSUED OCTOBER 1995, SPECIFICALLY, THE SERVICE
SECTION HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCLUDE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURE. THE REVISED INFORMATION IS PRINTED IN BOLD
TYPE. ALL COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL BULLETIN DATED OCTOBER, 1995 SHOULD BE DESTROYED.
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 repair within sixty (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 owner may be entitled to an identical or reasonable 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 that is being sent to owners, the owners are being instructed to
contact the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center if their dealer does not remedy the condition within five (5) days of the mutually agreed upon service
date. If the conditions not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Defect & Vehicles Involved
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 Chevrolet S/T Pickup and Utility trucks equipped
with air conditioning and 4.3L engines. Some of these vehicles may exhibit fan-blade rivet breakage which could lead to fan blade separation from the
spider. If this should occur while the hood is open, a person working under the hood of the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle could be struck by the
fan blade and injured.
To correct this condition, dealers will inspect and replace if necessary, the existing fan with the current release fan with the current release fan having
ticker rivets.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1995 Chevrolet S/T Pickup and Utility trucks equipped with air conditioning and 4.3L engines, and built within the VIN breakpoints
as shown.
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 receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently
assigned.
