CAMPAIGN: EMISSION CONTROL- LABEL INCORRECT
General Motors has determined that some 1982 S-10 Light Duty Trucks equipped with 2.8L V6 engine, 5-speed manual transmission and Federal emissions have an incorrect Vehicle Emission Control Information Label.
The information identifies the vehicle as having an initial engine timing setting of 6deg BTDC instead of 8deg as established for this engine and transmission combination.
To correct this condition, a new emission control information label containing the correct initial engine timing setting of 80 BTDC will be installed on all involved vehicles.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1982 S-10 Light Duty Trucks equipped with 2.8L V6 engine, 5-speed manual transmission and Federal emissions assembled at the following plants within the parameters identified below:
Plant From Through ------- -------- -------- Pontiac C0127221 C0131561 Moraine C2126490 C2135537 Shreveport C8121351 C8130217
Involved vehicles 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 the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.
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 for the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.
Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin was not shipped any involved vehicles.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Chevrolet Motor Division (see copy of Owner Letter included with this bulletin).
DEALERS CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to install the correct Vehicle Emission Control Information Label on vehicles involved as described in the Service Procedure section of this bulletin.
Each dealer will receive a correct label for all cars listed on the print-out, without an owner name and address (owner of record). Those cars showing a dealer name or no name and address are the dealer's responsibility to correct. Additional labels may be obtained from your zone office.
Since the label can easily be installed it is being mailed directly to owners of record. Owners may install the label personally or request that it be installed by your dealership. Should this occur the label is to be installed at no charge to the owner regardless of time, mileage, or ownership.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Open the hood and locate the old label on the radiator fan shroud.
2. Clean the surface of the old label with soapy water and wipe dry.
3. Apply the new label over the old label and install campaign label according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
NOTICE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE NEW LABEL ONCE IT HAS BEEN APPLIED, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE LABEL.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
