FUEL FILLER DOOR DOESN'T OPEN PROPERLY

MODELS AFFECTED: 1987 ALLANTES

Some Allantes may experience a condition of the fuel filler door not springing open when the release button is pressed. This condition may be caused by a missing "n-shaped" assist spring contained in the latch assembly. To repair this condition, install a new assist spring, P/N 20355094, as shown in the Figure 1.

For warranty purposes, use Labor Operation T6247 at .2 hour.

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.
