Defect & Vehicles Involved, Owner Notification & Dealer Camp.

DEFECT INVOLVED


General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on some 1984 Chevrolet Corvette models equipped with Cruise Control. The Cruise Control vacuum solenoid valves may malfunction at any time the engine is running and cruise control engaged, resulting in unexpected engine acceleration. Loss of accelerator control could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Should this condition occur, owners are being requested to apply and hold the service brakes, bringing the vehicle to a safe stop and turn the ignition off. To correct this condition, owners are being requested to contact their Chevrolet dealer who will, at no charge, modify the Cruise Control system. This modification will be at no charge to owners.

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings.

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.
