Defect and Vehicles Involved

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain early production 1984 Corvettes. The front brake caliper bracket to steering knuckle attaching bolts may loosen and fall out. The front brake caliper may then become partially detached from the knuckle assembly and may cause the wheel to lock. Should this occur while the vehicle is in motion, it could result in a loss of control, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, Chevrolet Dealers are to replace the front brake caliper bracket to steering knuckle attaching bolts on all involved vehicles in accordance with the Service Procedure as outlined in this campaign bulletin.
VEHICLES INVOLVED

Involved are all 1984 Chevrolet Corvette models within the following breakpoints:

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification 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 registration 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.
