DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1992-1993 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight and Ninety Eight model vehicles and in certain 1992-1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette model vehicles located in certain states (see "STATES INVOLVED" section). These vehicles have an upper transaxle oil cooler hose which could pull out of the crimped coupling at the transaxle end of the assembly. Under certain climatic conditions and under certain driving conditions, if this coupling was to separate and an ignition source was present, an engine compartment fire could occur.

To prevent the possibility of this condition from occurring, retailers are to install a new upper transaxle oil cooler line (to transaxle) on all involved vehicle.
