Owner Letter

Dear Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Owner,

This notice is to inform you Oldsmobile Division is conducting an emission recall that includes your vehicle.

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has decided that some 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme models equipped with the 2.3L engine may develop material separation in the ignition coil cover at the high voltage conductors. As the separation increases, arcing occurs between conductors and engine, resulting in intermittent misfire.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To prevent this condition from occurring on your vehicle, we will inspect the ignition coil cover, and if necessary, replace it at no charge to you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

Contact your Oldsmobile Retailer to arrange a service date. Instructions have been sent to your Retailer. It is estimated that parts will be available to your retailer June 19, 1995. Please ask your retailer if you desire an estimate of the total time needed to schedule, process and return your vehicle. Included in this time would be about eighteen (18) minutes for a technician to inspect/replace the (I.D.I) Integrate Direct Ignition coil housing.

EMISSION WARRANTY:

To ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle by Federal Law, and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Also, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test if the recall work is not accomplished.

Should your retailer find that your emission system has been intentionally disabled, you will be asked if you wish the system to be restored so that it will function as designed. The cost of such restoration will be your responsibility.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:

The (CARB) California Air Resources Board requires that vehicle emission campaign be completed prior to California registration renewal. Uncorrected emission recall campaign will result in the inability to renew your California registration.

At the time of emission campaign completion, your California Oldsmobile retailer will issue a "Campaign Certificate of Completion". Keep this certificate and, if required, present it to the Department of Motor Vehicles when renewing your California registration as proof of campaign completion.

If you previously paid to have the (I.D.I.) Integrated Direct Ignition coil housing replaced and you wish reimbursement, contact the Service Department at your Oldsmobile retailer. When doing so, you should present the retailer with original documentation which reasonably confirms the amount of unreimbursed repair expense due to the replacement/repair of the parts listed above, the date of the repair, and the person or entity performing the repair. If you can, please use the Oldsmobile retailer who sold and/or regularly services your vehicle to handle the reimbursement claim, as they have records on your vehicle. You should also have your retailer inspect your Oldsmobile to see if the campaign work still needs to be performed, regardless of prior repairs for the described condition.

Should your retailer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, please call Oldsmobile Customer Assistance (1-800-442-6537). Deaf, hearing impaired, or speech impaired persons with
telecommunications devices for the deaf (TDD/TTY) may contact Oldsmobile customer Assistance at 1-800-TDD-OLDS (1-800-588-6537). They will assist you and the retailer in getting your vehicle corrected. IF you retailer and Oldsmobile customer Assistance are unable to remedy the condition within a reasonable time, you may wish to advise the Environmental Protection Agency at the following address: Director Manufacturers Operations Division (EN-340F), United States Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20460
