CAMPAIGN: EMISSION LABEL INSTALLATION
Model and Year 1989 R/V 2500 SERIES SUBURBAN W/5.7L (RPO L05) ENGINE (FLINT ASSEMBLY PLANT VEHICLES ONLY)
General Motors has determined that certain 1989 Chevrolet R/V 2500 Series Suburban trucks equipped with 5.7L engines, built at the Flint Assembly Plant, were shipped without the specified emission (tune-up) label which is required by the Clean Air Act.
To correct this condition, it will be necessary to install a new label on the radiator support.
Since a label can be easily installed and to reduce owner inconvenience, the label will be sent with instructions directly to owners of record. Owners may install the label on the radiator support of their vehicle. However, if they desire, they may bring the label to their servicing Chevrolet Dealer for installation at no charge.

REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1989 Chevrolet R/V 2500 Series Suburbans equipped with 5.7L engines, and built at the Flint Assembly Plant, were shipped without the specified emission (tune-up) label. Without the correct label, these vehicles do not meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. WHAT WE WILL DO
To correct this condition, it will be necessary to install a new emission label on the radiator support. Since a label can be easily installed, and to reduce your inconvenience, we are enclosing a label with installation instructions. The label may be installed by you on the radiator support of your vehicle. However, if you desire, your Chevrolet dealer will install the label for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please let us know if you elect to install the label yourself by completing the enclosed postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us. This assists us in assuring that all affected vehicles have been corrected. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.
Should you choose to have your local Chevrolet Dealer install the label for you, please bring the owner reply card, along with the enclosed label, to your servicing Chevrolet dealer. Please contact your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time.

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.
