CAMPAIGN: INCORRECT DATE ON VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL

Subject: INCORRECT DATE ON VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL

Models/Years: CERTAIN 1992 EIGHTY EIGHTS

CONDITION

General Motors has determined that some 1992 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight vehicles were produced at Wentzville assembly plant with incorrect certification labels. The vehicle certification label located on the left-front (driver) door of these vehicles was printed with "03/91" in the "date" (month/year of manufacture) space rather than the correct "03/92" date.

To correct this condition, a new certification label is to be affixed to each affected vehicle. Since a new certification label can be easily installed and to reduce owner inconvenience, new certification labels will be sent directly to owners of record. Owners may install the new label or ask a dealer to do the service. Dealer service is to be done at no charge to owners.

If Oldsmobile records do not indicate an owner of record for a vehicle, then the new certification label will be provided to the dealer.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Involved are certain 1992 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight model vehicles built at Wentzville Assembly plant within the following VIN breakpoints:

Through & Year Model Model Name Beginning Including ---- ----- ---------- --------- --------- 1992 H Eighty Eight N1823582 N1824023

About half of the subject vehicles within the breakpoints listed above were corrected at the assembly plant prior to shipment and will not require correction by dealers or owners. VIN lists to dealers with involved vehicles will indicate the total number of vehicles involved and assigned to the dealer, and the number of Certification Labels to be sent to dealers with "unsold" vehicles.

DEALER ACTION

All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession subject to this campaign MUST be held at the dealership and the campaign must be performed BEFORE owners take possession of these vehicles.

Dealers are to perform this campaign on all vehicles involved 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, dealers are to ensure the campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Dealers are to contact owners of vehicles recently sold from your new or used vehicle inventory and arrange for the campaign correction to be performed.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Open the drivers door and verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the new certification label is the same as the existing label (see illustration for location). If the VIN of the new certification label is different than the existing label, contact the Zone/ODAC to arrange to receive the correct label.

If the VIN of the new certification label Is the same as the existing label, follow the remaining steps of this procedure and install the new label.

2. Clean the surface of the old label with soapy water and wipe dry. Remove the protective backing from the new label, and Carefully apply it over the old label. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE NEW LABEL ONCE IT HAS BEEN APPLIED, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE LABEL AND MAKE IT ILLEGIBLE.

3. Install a Campaign Identification Label.

CAMPAIGN IDENTIFICATION LABEL

Each label provides space to print the campaign number, and the five (5) digit dealer code of the dealer performing the campaign. Insert this information with a typewriter or ball-point pen. When installing label, clean and dry the surface of the radiator support tie bar and apply the campaign label where it is readily visible.

PARTS INFORMATION

Certification labels are to be sent to all owners of record along with an owner letter. For vehicles that have not been reported sold, the labels will be sent to the dealer. For "out-of-position" vehicles, dealers must contact the Zone Office or ODAC to arrange for a label.
