CAMPAIGN: TUNE-UP LABEL MISPRINTED. Chevrolet Caprice 1982

General Motors has determined that some 1982 full size Chevrolet Station Wagons equipped with 5.7L diesel engine, automatic transmission and California emissions have an incorrect Vehicle Emission Control Label. The label is missing a key phrase identifying the vehicle as being eligible for sale, use, or registration in California. The label is required by the Federal Clean Air Act and by the State of California.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Certain 1982 full size Chevrolet Station Wagons equipped with 5.7L diesel engine, automatic transmission and California emissions assembled at the following plants up to and including the breakpoints identified below:

Plant From Through ----- ------- -------- Fairfax CX100013 CX101923 Janesville CJ101007 CJ121005

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, Owner Name and Address Data, and are furnished to the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.

These listings may contain owner 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 for the follow- up necessary to complete this campaign.

Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin was not shipped any involved vehicles.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Chevrolet Motor Division (see copy of Owner Letter included with this bulletin).

DEALERS CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY

Dealers are to install the correct Vehicle Emission Control Information Label on vehicles involved as described in the Service Procedure section of this bulletin.

Each dealer will receive a correct label for all cars listed on the print-out, without an owner name and address (owner of record). Those cars showing a dealer name or no name and address are the dealer's responsibility to correct. Additional labels may be obtained from your zone office.

Since the label can easily be installed it is being mailed directly to owners of record. Owners may install the label personally or request that it be installed by your dealership. Should this occur the label is to be installed at no charge to the owner regardless of time, mileage, or ownership.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Open the hood and locate the old label on the panel above the radiator fan (fan shroud).

2. Clean the surface of the old label with soapy water and wipe dry.

3. Apply the new label over the old label and install campaign label according to instructions contained in this bulletin.

CAUTION:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE NEW LABEL ONCE IT HAS BEEN APPLIED, AS THIS WILL DEFACE THE LABEL.

Dear Chevrolet Owner:

Chevrolet Division records indicate that you are the owner of a 1982 full size Chevrolet Station Wagon equipped with 5.7L diesel engine, automatic transmission and California emissions built with a misprinted vehicle emission control information label. This label is required by the Federal Clean Air Act, and by the State of California.

The misprinted label is missing a key phrase identifying your vehicle as being eligible for sale, use, or registration in California.

We have enclosed the correct Vehicle Emission Control Information Label for your vehicle. You may install this label yourself or take it to a Chevrolet dealer for installation at no charge to you.

To install the Vehicle Emission Control Label yourself, instructions are as follows:

1. Open hood of vehicle and locate the old emission label. This label is located on a panel just above the radiator assembly on all models.

2. Clean the surface of the old label with soapy water and wipe dry.

3. Remove backing from new label and carefully apply label over old label.

CAUTION:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE NEW LABEL ONCE IT HAS BEEN APPLIED, AS THIS WILL DEFACE THE LABEL.

If you install the new label, rather than asking your dealer to do it, please tell us by signing and returning the postage paid pre-addressed reply card. If you have sold, traded or disposed of your vehicle, please fill out the information requested on the reply card and return it to us. This will assist us in assuring that all affected vehicles have been corrected and also will eliminate the necessity for bothering you with follow-up notifications.

Should you choose to have a Chevrolet dealer install the label please contact your dealer to arrange a mutually satisfactory service date to have this modification performed. Take the enclosed label with you. The labor time to perform this correction is approximately 5 minutes. Please allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.

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.
