Ceneral Motors has determined that some 1984 C/K/G 10-20 Model Trucks equipped with a 6.2L Light Duty Emission Diesel Engine (RPO LH6) and California Emissions (RPO YF5) may emit pollutants in excess of Federal Emissions Standards.
The adhesive used to assemble the rubber vacuum manifold halves of the EGR/EPR Solenoid Assembly may deteriorate and result in vacuum leaks. Vacuum leakage renders the ECR/EPR solenoids inoperative, which may result in failure to meet NOx emission standards.
Involved are certain 1984 C/K/G 10-20 Model Trucks equipped with a 6.2L Light Duty Emission Diesel Engine (RPO LH6) and California Emissions (RPO YF5), built within the following breakpoints:
PLANT FROM THROUGH ----- ---- ------- Flint EF100009 EF176598 Janesville EJ146780 EJ172426 Scarborough E4144800 E4163157
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Iden- tification 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 regis- tration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to 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.
Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Chevrolet Motor Division (see copy of Owner Letter included with this bulletin).
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle. Owners of vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer, and arrangements made to make the required modification according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
Remove original EGR/EPR solenoid assembly and replace with P/N 1997134 (see Figure 1). Reference the 1984 Chevrolet Light Duty Truck Shop Manual ST-330-84, Page 6E9-19, Figure 6E9-34.
Parts required to complete this modification are to be obtained from General Motors Warehousing and Distribution Division (GMWDD). To ensure that these parts will be obtained as soon as possible they should be ordered from GMWDD on a C.I.O. order with no special instruction code, but on an advise code (2).

Dear Chevrolet Owner:
General motors has determined that some 1984 C/K/G 10-20 Model Trucks equipped with a 6.2L Diesel Engine and California Emissions may emit pollutants in excess of emissions standards.
The adhesive used to assemble the rubber vacuum manifold halves of the EGR/EPR Solenoid Assembly may deteriorate and result in vacuum leaks. Vacuum leakage can render the EGR/EPR solenoids inoperative, which may result in failure to meet NOx emission standards.
To bring your vehicle into compliance with applicable emissions require- ments, please contact your Chevrolet dealer to arrange a service date. Your dealer will install a new EGR/EPR solenoid assembly for you at no charge.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Chevrolet Dealer. Parts will be available on October 7, 1985. The labor time required to install the new EGR/EPR solenoid varies between 15 and 30 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 him in making the inspection to your vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid Owner Identification Reply Card and returning it to us. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact your nearest Chevrolet Zone Office either in person or by telephone for assistance. The locations and telephone numbers of the Zone Offices have been attached for your convenience.
To ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle by Federal Law, and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be a lack of proper maintenance of 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 product.

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.
