EVAPORATOR CASE WATER LEAK INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT

Models Affected: 1983 Skyhwak

The conditions causing a wet floor mat are:

1. The 1982-83 Skyhawk equipped with air conditioning may have restricted evaporator drain tube. (See Figure 1). Additional checks should also be made to insure that the evaporator case has the proper sealing along the dash cawl area.

2. Non-air conditioned Skyhawks may have a hairline crack in the right side fresh air duct (See Figure 2). There is a sponge-like material immediately below this area, and therefore, water entry is delayed until this material is saturated.

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.
