Pontiac bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer." They are written to inform these technicians of conditions
that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the
equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies
to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your Pontiac dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
Owner Letter
December 1988
Dear Pontiac 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 may exist in certain 1988 Pontiac 6000 model vehicles equipped with
a 2.8L (RPO LB6) engine. The fuel feed hose could leak at the coupling on the engine end of the hose assembly. This condition could allow fuel to leak
into the engine compartment and an engine compartment fire may result without prior warning. Such a fire could, in time, spread to the passenger
compartment.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring on your vehicle, the fuel feed hose assembly must be inspected, and if necessary, replaced with a new hose
assembly. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Pontiac dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. It
is estimated that parts will be available on or about December 15, 1988. The labor time necessary to perform th? inspection is approximately fifteen (15)
minutes, but a total of up to forty-five (45) minutes will be required if fuel feed hose replacement is required. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know
how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
Your Pontiac dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you
take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and he does not remedy this condition on that date, or within five days, we recommend you
contact the Pontiac Customer Assistance Center by calling: 1-800-762-2737.
After contacting your dealer and the Pontiac Customer Assistance Center, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition
