Owner Letter

January 15, 1990

Dear Chevrolet Owner:

This notice is sent to inform you that Chevrolet Motor Division is conducting a recall campaign that includes your vehicle.

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that certain 1989 Chevrolet Caprice police and taxi cab fleets may experience fatigue of the air conditioning condenser inlet pipe. The compressor discharge hose/pipe assembly is too short and stiff to absorb engine roll and vibration.

The fatigue resulting from this condition may then lead to breakage of the inlet pipe, causing discharge of the system's Freon and thus loss of vehicle air conditioning.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, your Chevrolet dealer will install a new compressor discharge hose/pipe assembly and, if necessary, a new condenser. This service will be performed at no charge to you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

Please contact your Chevrolet dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule, process and repair your vehicle.

The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
