Subject: | 99039 -- THROTTLE VALVE CABLE - INSPECT / REPLACE |
Models: | CERTAIN 1999 CHEVROLET CAVALIER AND PONTIAC SUNFIRE, EQUIPPED WITH 2.2 L (RPO LN2 -- VIN CODE 4) AND 3T40 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (RPO MD9) |
General Motors has decided that certain 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire model vehicles, equipped with 2.2 L (RPO LN2 -- VIN Code 4) engine and 3T40 automatic transmission may have been built with a throttle valve cable (T.V. cable) having a mismatched ramp angle on the ratchet teeth of the tension adjuster. This will cause the cable to lose tension and may cause low transmission fluid line pressure, which may result in transmission slippage, excessive heat and failure of the transmission.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers are to inspect the T.V. cable for certain production date codes and replace the T.V. cable on vehicles with these involved date codes.
Involved are certain 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire model vehicles, equipped with 2.2 L (RPO LN2 -- VIN Code 4) engine and 3T40 automatic transmission and built within the following VIN breakpoints.

1999 | Pontiac | Sunfire | Lordstown | X7583072 | X7584682 |

Important: Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through VISS (Vehicle Information Service System) prior to beginning campaign repairs. [Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number. Computer listings containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data have been prepared, and are being furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. The customer name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with customers involved in this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
These dealer listings may contain customer 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.
Important: An initial supply of T.V. Cables, equivalent to 65% of involved vehicles, required to complete this campaign will be pre-shipped to involved dealers of record. This pre-shipment will occur the week of June 28, 1999. Pre-shipped parts will be charged to dealer's open parts account.
Additional parts, if required, are to be obtained from General Motors Service Parts Operations (GMSPO). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" prior to ordering requirements. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. An emergency requirement should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
Part Number | Description | Qty/ Vehicle |
---|---|---|
22609702 | Cable, Throttle Valve | 1 |
Important: Due to the small number of vehicles involved, dealers are encouraged NOT to order campaign parts for use as shelf stock. Parts should only be ordered when inspection determines that it is necessary to replace the T.V. cable.
Customers will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by General Motors (see copy of typical customer letter included with this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly).
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this campaign MUST be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this campaign bulletin BEFORE customers take possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. This could be done by mailing to such customers a copy of the customer letter accompanying this bulletin. Campaign follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, please take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Dear <Division(s)> Customer:
This notice is sent to inform you that General Motors is conducting a customer satisfaction recall campaign that includes your vehicle.
General Motors has decided that certain 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire model vehicles, equipped with 2.2 L engine and 3T40 automatic transmission, may have been equipped with a throttle valve cable (T.V. cable) having a misbuilt tension adjuster. This will cause the cable to lose tension and can lead to poor performance and failure of the transmission.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, your dealer will inspect the T.V. cable for certain production date codes and replace the T.V. cable on vehicles with these involved date codes. This service will be performed for you at no charge .
Please contact your <Division> dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date and to assure parts availability. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule, process and repair your vehicle.
