1.8L TURBOCHARGER REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE

In an effort to better understand conditions which require the replacement of a turbocharger on the 1984 2000 Sunbird engine (VIN Code J), we are requesting that dealers call our Service Technical Assistance (S.T.A.T.) toll free number and notify them of the condition.

Whenever possible, a representative of Pontiac and/or the supplier will come to your dealership to observe the condition and offer assistance.

The S.T.A.T. number is 1-800-742-4636.

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.
