TO: ALL CHEVROLET-GEO DEALERS

ATTENTION:

SERVICE & PARTS MANAGERS

MODEL & YEAR: 1995 S/T BLAZER (MORAINE ASSEMBLY ONLY)

IMPORTANT

RETAIN THIS ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE WITH DEALER CAMPAIGN BULLETINS. A RED TOP DEALER BULLETIN WILL NOT BE PROVIDED.

AFTER THE CAMPAIGN SERVICE PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE MAY BE RELEASED FOR SALE/DELIVERY

THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT, AS AMENDED PROVIDES THAT EACH VEHICLE WHICH IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL CAMPAIGN OF THIS TYPE MUST BE ADEQUATELY REPAIRED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AFTER THE OWNER HAS TENDERED IT FOR REPAIR. A FAILURE TO REPAIR WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER TENDER OF A VEHICLE IS PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE OF FAILURE TO REPAIR WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME.

IF THE CONDITION IS NOT ADEQUATELY REPAIRED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, THE OWNER MAY BE ENTITLED TO AN IDENTICAL OR REASONABLY EQUIVALENT VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE OR TO A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE LESS A REASONABLE ALLOWANCE FOR DEPRECIATION.

TO AVOID HAVING TO PROVIDE THESE BURDENSOME SOLUTIONS, EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO PROMPTLY SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH EACH OWNER AND TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

DEFECT INVOLVED

GENERAL MOTORS HAS DETERMINED THAT A DEFECT, WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, EXISTS IN CERTAIN 1995 S/T UTILITY TRUCKS, SOME OF THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT BOLT STARTED IN THE WELD NUT BUT NOT TORQUED ("FINGER LOOSE"). WITH THE BOLT "FINGER LOOSE", IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE BOLT TO DISENGAGE FROM THE WELD NUT VERY EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, THERE WOULD BE A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY, AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING COULD OCCUR.

TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR HAND- STARTED BRAKE PEDAL BOLTS AND TORQUE THEM TO SPECIFICATIONS.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

INVOLVED ARE CERTAIN 1995 S/T BLAZERS BUILT AT MORAINE ASSEMBLY (VIN CODE 2). ALL VEHICLE INVOLVED ARE LISTED BELOW:

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.
