Owner's Letter
June 20, 1989
Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1989 Chevrolet C/K Extended Cab model trucks
produced at Oshawa Truck Assembly Plant. These vehicles may have below specified torque on the optional trailer hitch (VR4) attaching fasteners. This
incorrect torque could allow the trailer hitch to move under towing loads. This could eventually lead to failure of the fasteners. If this occurs while a
trailer is being pulled, the hitch and trailer could separate and a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, it will be necessary to inspect for evidence of trailer hitch movement, and if movement has
occurred, the attaching fasteners will be replaced and tightened to the specified torque. If no movement has occurred, the attaching fasteners will be
tightened to the specified torque. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
