IMPORTANT

This campaign bulletin lifts the stop delivery notice (DCS 93-219, dated November 18, 1993) on all non-involved vehicles. Involved vehicles, as indicated by VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) computer listings, must be inspected or inspected and corrected before sale. If you do not receive a VIN computer listing with this bulletin, our records indicate you have no involved vehicles.

CONDITION

General Motors has determined that certain 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera model vehicles were manufactured with a fuel pump which contains improperly machined parts. This condition could cause the fuel pump to bind and become inoperative, resulting in engine stalling.

To prevent this condition from occurring, retailers are to inspect the fuel pump for specific date codes and replace if necessary.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Certain 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera model vehicles within the following VIN breakpoints:

Year Model Model Name Engine VIN Code VIN Beginning Through & Including ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 A Cutlass Ciera 4 or M R6330957 R6332642 (both engines involved)

Involved vehicles have been identified by VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) computer listings. Computer listings contain the complete VIN, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved retailers within the campaign bulletin. Owner names and address data furnished will enable retailers to follow-up with owners involved in the campaign.

These listings may contain owners 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. Any retailer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.

Owners will be notified of this recall on their vehicles by Oldsmobile Division (see copy of the owner letter included with this bulletin).

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.
