Owner Notification Letter

August, 1986


Dear Pontiac Owner:

General Motors has determined that some 1986 Pontiac 6000 models equipped with a 2.8L engine may have two circuit wires interchanged. This can result in a grounding of the Cold Start Valve Thermal and Time Switch causing a difficult or no-start condition.

To correct this condition on your vehicle, please contact your Pontiac dealer to arrange a service date. Your dealer will inspect, and if required, reverse the interchanged circuit wires and replace the "crank" fuse. This service will be performed at no charge to you.

Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. The labor time to perform this service is approximately 15 minutes. Please allow additional time for your dealer to process your vehicle.

The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist him in making the inspection to your vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid Owner Identification Reply Card and returning it to us. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact your nearest Pontiac Zone Office either in person or by telephone for assistance. The locations and telephone numbers of the Zone Offices have been attached for your convenience.

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