1992 CHEVROLET CORVETTE W/ LT1 ENGINE


To:
All Chevrolet Dealers

General Motors has determined that certain 1992 Chevrolet Corvettes with LT1 engines (VIN code "P") have been equipped with Opti-Spark distributors which may develop a faulty low-resolution pulse signal. This condition may cause a "no-start" engine stall condition, along with a "Service Engine Soon" light (Code 16).

To correct this condition, dealers are to replace the distributor.

Owners of SOLD vehicles involved in this campaign are being contacted by the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center (CAC) on a branch-by-branch basis. Due to initial parts availability, campaign parts will only be made available as owners are contacted by CAC and only for their vehicles (see the parts information section for additional details).

Involved vehicle listings have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Dealers will be notified by DCS when contacts by CAC will begin in their branch. DEALERS SHOULD NOT CONTACT OWNERS OR ORDER CAMPAIGN PARTS UNTIL DEALERS ARE NOTIFIED BY DCS.


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. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
