Campaign - Glow Plug System Inspections


TMS/SVS/F-062 FEBRUARY 19, 1985

TO: ALL DISTRIBUTOR/REGIONAL MANAGERS

RE: SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR 1985 CALIF.. TURBO DIESEL TRUCKS

Toyota has decided to conduct a Special Service Campaign (SSC #502) on 1985 California (only) Turbo Diesel Trucks.

As explained in the attached California Dealer Letter, this campaign is related to the starting glow plug system on some 2L-T engines. Although the engine will start the cranking time may take longer than normal (over 2 seconds) under cold weather conditions due to a glow plug electrical circuit malfunction.

The Special Service Campaign Instructions will be provided only to California dealers.

The schedule of this campaign is as follows:

^ Dealer Instruction mailing - February 22, 1985

^ Owner Notification - February 28, 1985

A print-out of the affected subject trucks will be provided to Los Angeles and San Francisco Regional Service Managers.

For your service staff information, attached are copies of California Dealer Letter and Technical Instructions together with a sample Owner Notification Letter.
