CAMPAIGN: EMISSION LABEL INSTALLATION
1989 RV 25-35 TRUCKS BUILT AT JANESVILLE
General Motors has determined that certain 1989 RV 25-35 trucks equipped with 5.7L or 6.2L engines with heavy duty emissions, and built at Janesville 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 an emission label.
Since a label can be easily installed and to reduce owner inconvenience, the label will be sent directly to owners of record. Owners may install the label or they may ask a dealer to do the service. Dealer service is to be done at no charge to owners.

The specific vehicles involved in this campaign have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. These listings and a new label for each vehicle for which there is no owner of record have been furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin.

It is your responsibility to see that the new label is installed on recently sold vehicles.
DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY
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 ensure 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 cor- rection according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
If no owner's name and address were available to GMC Truck Division at the time of campaign initiation, the dealer will determine the owner's name and address from the dealership sales records. Please provide this information directly on the second copy of the listing next to the applicable VIN so that our records may be updated and the appropriate notification mailed to the owner. This second copy should then be submitted to the address listed below in the previously supplied yellow campaign envelopes.

Dear GMC Truck Owner,
General Motors has determined that certain 1989 RV 25-35 trucks equipped with 5.7 or 6.2L engines with heavy duty emissions, and built at Janesville, Wisconsin 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 an emission label.
Since a new label can be easily installed and to reduce owner inconvenience, we are enclosing a new label and installation instructions. If you desire, your GMC Truck dealer will install the label for you at no charge.
Please let us know if you elect to install the new label by completing the enclosed postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us. This will assist us in assuring that all affected vehicles have been corrected.
Should you choose to have a GMC dealer install the label, please contact your dealer to arrange a service date to have this correction made. Take the enclosed label with you. The labor time to perform this correction is approximately five (5) minutes. Please allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
If you have sold or traded your vehiclc, please fill out the owner 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.
