Subject: FRONT SEAT BACK COVER SPLITS
Model and Year: 1985-86 SPECTRUM - 2 DOOR HATCHBACK
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Some 1985-86 Spectrum 2 door hatchback vehicles with VIN serial numbers prior to G8426350 may experience a split in the front seatback cover.
When this split occurs, it is usually found at the seam joining the front of the cover to the side adjacent to the driver's or passenger's door. This condition is caused by stitching pulling through the side material due to the tension applied to this area as the occupant enters the vehicle prior to sitting on the seat.
On complaint vehicles, the seat back cover should be replaced using the appropriate part number listed. These new parts utilize a thicker material in the affected area permitting greater stitching retention.
