YEAR and MODEL: 1993 SATURN (ALL MODELS)
Recently, we learned that windshield wipers on some 1993 Saturn vehicles may not work exactly as they should. What this means is that, after some period of operation, the wipers may cease to function properly at some settings. This condition does not affect the operation of the windshield wipers at the high speed setting. So if owners need to use the wipers prior to having the campaign repair completed, they can switch to the high speed.
All 1993 Saturn vehicles in the following VIN range will require this campaign, except for the VIN's on the listing included in this bulletin (refer to "Non-Involved Vehicles within VIN Range"):
PZ177900 through PZI94942
Also, the following VIN's not in the above range are to be included in this campaign:
PZ135155, PZ164690, PZ166189, PZ166229, PZ166301, PZ166729, PZ166747, PZ166819, PZ166831, PZ166923, PZ167081 and PZ167091
Because Saturn builds by sequence order, which does not always match VIN order, there were some non - involved vehicles within the VIN range that do not require this campaign. It is important to note that campaign claims will only be paid on involved vehicles. Also, those vehicles within the VIN range, which have had the windshield wiper motor assembly replaced under warranty prior to Claim Memo date of 1/21/93, have been excluded from this campaign. These exclusions are comprehended in the attached listing of non-involved vehicles.
1. Saturn will notify owners of vehicles involved in this campaign:
o That parts to repair their windshield wipers will be available to Retailers by 2/3/93. Owners will also be instructed to contact their Retailer and arrange to have the campaign completed;
o That this condition does not affect the operation of the windshield wipers at the high speed setting and that if owners need to use the wipers prior to having the repair completed, they can just switch to the high speed;
o That if they have already had the windshield wiper motor assembly replaced under warranty, no further action is required;
o To contact their Retailer or the Saturn Assistance Center if they have any questions or need assistance.
2. In addition, Saturn will notify the owners of 1993 vehicles within the VIN range for which the windshield wiper motor assembly has previously been replaced under warranty, to advise them that they are not included in this campaign, since their cars have been repaired with known good parts.
3. Saturn will notify owners of 1993 vehicles not affected by this condition that their cars are not involved in this campaign. This will alleviate any concerns these customers may have regarding this issue.
4. Saturn will also notify the owners of 1993 vehicles not affected by this condition, who have previously had similar windshield wiper system warranty work, to let them know that the repairs they had done are unrelated to this campaign.
A list of vehicles assigned to you (Facility VIN Listing), which our records indicate were sold by or shipped to you, is enclosed for your follow-up program. The Facility VIN Listing contains:
o Complete Vehicle Identification Number;
o Owner name, address and telephone number; and
o VINs of vehicles, which according to Saturn records are in retail stock.
The Facility VIN Listing (with owner information) is furnished to involved Retailers with the Product Campaign Bulletin. Although these vehicles are assigned to your facility, please note that owners can take their vehicles to any Saturn Retail Facility to have this campaign performed. Those Retailers not involved initially in this campaign will receive a message at the top of a blank facility VIN Listing that states: NO VEHICLES ASSIGNED A T THIS TIME FOR CAMPAIGN 93CO2.
These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of the law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign. Those records updated with California DMV registration information will have the following message printed adjacent to the appropriate VIN:
"OWNER INFORMATION UPDATED BY CALIFORNIA DMV; PUBLICATION PROHIBITED."
In order to minimize customer inconvenience and ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction, owners who live in a remote location from an open Saturn Retail Facility will be contacted by Saturn to arrange to have their vehicles serviced in a manner convenient to them. Therefore, you may notice that not all vehicles which were sold by you are on your Facility VIN Listing.
Saturn vehicles that have been sold by you, which may be closer in proximity to another Saturn Retailer, will still appear on your Facility VIN Listing. If either you or the vehicle owner determines that it is more desirable for a vehicle on your Facility VIN Listing to be serviced by another Saturn Retailer, campaign responsibility may be transferred by 1) contacting the Saturn Assistance Center (1-800-828-2112, prompt 6); 2) submitting a Campaign Vehicle Action Report to your field representative. A copy of the Campaign Vehicle Action Report can be found in your Retailer Service Reference Guide; or 3) submitting the update in the Saturn Owner of Record system, via SERVICELINE, for field organization review and approval. All changes to campaign responsibility will be reflected in your next monthly Unfixed VIN Report.
All other changes in vehicle status (e.g., scrapped, stolen, etc.) are to be made in accordance with section 4.4.3 of the Retailer Service Reference Guide (Notifying Saturn of Vehicle Status Change).
When reviewing the Unfixed VIN Report or entering claims into the SERVICELINE system, please compare your owner information to the Saturn provided information. If changes are required, please make them promptly. Variations in the Retailer's customer name information should be corrected using the methods listed below:
A. Change in Current Owner Information
1. Select [CMD-3] key for "Change Customer Data" and access the Customer File Maintenance Screen. Make the appropriate changes.
2. Select [CMD-5] key to save the updated customer information and return to the Service Vehicle Master Maintenance Screen.
3. Enter vehicle mileage and select the [CMD-5] key to open a Customer Service 0rder (CSO).
B. New Owner Information
1. Choose vehicle by the VIN and not by the customer's name.
2. Select the [CMD - 2] key to access the Customer File and Maintenance Screen. Enter the new owner's name and address information, and enter "Y" in the "New Owner" field to prompt the update.
3. Select the [CMD-5] key to save the updated information.
4. Enter vehicle mileage and select the [CMD-5] key to open a Customer Service Order (CSO).
1. Retailers will service all customer vehicles involved in this campaign, at no charge to the owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership. Should parts availability become limited, Retailers are to give priority to customer owned vehicles over retail stock vehicles.
In the future, whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or is in your retail facility for service, you should ensure that the campaign correction has been completed before reselling or releasing the vehicle.
Owners of involved vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted and arrangements made, to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin.
2. Retailers will perform the campaign repair on all involved 1993 Saturn vehicles in retail inventory, using the service procedure contained in this bulletin.
3. Retailers will not deliver any involved 1993 Saturn vehicles in retail inventory until the corrective action is performed.
1. A pre-shipment of parts required to perform the campaign will be automatically sent to you from Saturn Service Parts Operations (SSPO). The initial shipment will be followed up with supplemental shipments ... so Retailers will not need to order parts other than Loctite 242.
2. Parts questions may be directed to your Saturn Parts Support Analyst.
Required Parts
Quantity Required Part Number Description Per Vehicle ----------- ----------- -----------------
21049032 MOTOR ASM - WSW MODULE 1 20604449 or 21049074 NUT - WSW ARM 2
Retailers will scrap all replaced parts in a manner that ensures that they cannot be reused, remanufactured, or otherwise entered into the stream of commerce in the future.
As you know, Saturn's success hinges upon our ability to execute superior customer support throughout the ownership experience, especially when occasional corrective actions such as this are required.
Saturn recognizes that some Retailers will have a large number of affected vehicles, and a limited initial parts supply.
Retailers should have an "action plan" so that they can quickly perform the campaign procedure ... and minimize customer inconvenience. Some thought starters include:
1) Give priority to customer owned vehicles over retail inventory vehicles.
2) Explain the situation to owners who come in for this service who have yet to receive the owner letter, so they won't be alarmed when they receive the notification.
3) Schedule repair appointments, so that parts are available when customers come in, and the repair can be completed as quickly and conveniently as possible.
4) Attempt to schedule customers to come in during your facility's non - peak hours. Also, strong consideration should be given to extended service hours (evenings/weekends).
5) Utilize additional Retailer resources to minimize owner wait time and to reduce inconvenience (e.g., leveraged service capacity).
Again, whatever "action plan" you choose, it is imperative that every effort is made to accommodate the owner. As always, please coordinate with the Saturn Assistance Center to help ensure customer satisfaction.

Dear Saturn Owner:
We understand that you have purchased a 1993 Saturn, and we're very happy about that. Obviously, we want your experience owning this car to be better than any other you've had ... which is why we're writing.
Recently, we learned that your windshield wipers may not perform as they should. What this means is that, after some period of operation, the wipers may cease to function properly at some settings. However, this condition does not affect the operation of the windshield wipers at the high speed setting. So if you need to use them prior to having repairs completed, just switch to the high speed. Of course, we know that you'll want to have the wipers repaired as soon as possible. The parts needed for the repair are expected to begin arriving at your Retail facility Wednesday, February 3.
What Saturn will do: Replace the windshield wiper motor assembly at no charge to you and with the least possible inconvenience.
What you should do: Contact your Saturn Retailer and arrange to have this service performed. Repairs shouldn't take more than an hour and a half ... although some additional time may be required for paperwork and processing.
What you should know: There's a slight chance that you may have already experienced this problem prior to receiving this letter, and had the wiper motor assembly replaced by your Retailer. Since we're certain that our service stock of wiper motor assemblies has always consisted entirely of good parts, there is no need to have this repair performed again. If you have a question about previous repairs, please contact your Retailer.
We want you to know that we sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you. If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your Retailer or the Saturn Assistance Center (1-800-553-6000).
Sincerely,
Saturn Corporation
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.
