Dear chevrolet Truck Owner:
This notice is sent to inform you that Chevrolet Motor Division is conducting a recall campaign that includes your vehicle.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1994 Chevrolet C/K trucks, P trucks and G-Vans equipped with 7.4L Engines were shipped with an incorrect emission vacuum hose routing schematic on the emission (tune-up) label.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To correct this condition, it is necessary to install a new emission label on the air cleaner. Since a new label can be easily installed, and to reduce your inconvenience, we are enclosing a label with installation instructions. The new label may be installed by you on the air cleaner of your vehicle. However, if you desire, your Chevrolet dealer will install the label for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please let us know if you elect to install the label yourself by completing the enclosed postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.
Should you choose to have your Chevrolet dealer install the label for you, please bring the owner reply card, along with the enclosed label, to your servicing Chevrolet dealer. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time. Please contact your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1020.
If your dealer and the Customer Assistance Center are unable to remedy this condition within a reasonable time, you may wish to advise the Environmental Protection Agency at the following address: Director, Manufacture's Operations Division (6405J), United States Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street. S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.
To ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle by Federal Law, and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you complete this service as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Also, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test if the recall work is not accomplished.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those 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 a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
