Dear Chevrolet Owner:
General Motors has determined that some 1985 Chevrolet Celebrity models equipped with RPO LB6 2.8L (VIN Code W) V6 Engine and RPO C60 (Air Con- ditioning) may have been assembled with a misrouted engine wiring harness. This condition, if not corrected, can cause damage to the wiring harness as well as an engine no-start condition.
To correct this condition on your vehicle an inspection of the engine wiring harness will be made. If the wiring harness is misrouted or damaged it will be repaired. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Instructions for this service have been sent to your Chevrolet dealer. Please contact your dealer to arrange a service date. The labor time to inspect your vehicle is approximately 15 minutes. If the wiring harness needs rerouting or repair, it will be an additional 1 hour and 15 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to process your vehicle.
The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please complete the postage paid reply card and return it to us.
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. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
