PRODUCT CAMPAIGN BULLETIN
SUBJECT:
4T40E TRANSAXLE TORQUE CONVERTER INSPECTION AND TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSAXLE REPLACEMENT, IF
NECESSARY
YEAR and MODEL:
2001 SATURN L-SERIES VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4T40E (RPO MN4) TRANSAXLES AND 4CYL (RPO L61) ENGINES ONLY
TO: ALL SATURN RETAILERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
Saturn has decided that certain 2001 L-Series Saturn vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the transaxle converter pump to stator bearing may
prematurely fail due to a raised metal condition on the bearing surface on the inside of the pump cover. This may cause abnormal transaxle noise and
may lead to premature failure.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, Retailers will inspect the torque converter for certain production date codes, and, if necessary
replace the transaxle.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Only selected 2001 model year L-Series Saturn vehicles within the following VIN range will require this campaign:
1Y536134 - 1Y550873
