FUEL LID WILL NOT OPEN (FOR MODELS W/REMOTE FUEL LID OPENER)
AFFECTED VINS
This bulletin applies to vehicles with a VIN of JM1BG2***N0582793 or lower produced through November 30, 1992.
This bulletin does not apply to vehicles with a VIN equal to or greater than JM1BG2***N0582794 and produced after November 30, 1992.
DESCRIPTION
On some vehicles, the remote fuel lid will not open when activated. This condition is due to a broken or dislocated lift spring. The lift spring may have
been damaged or dislocated by frequent contact with the gasoline pump nozzle.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
If the above condition occurs, replace the lift spring with a modified part. The modified lift spring's configuration prevents the gasoline pump nozzle
from coming into contact with the spring.
Removal and installation procedures are outlined in Section S of the applicable Workshop Manual.
