Subject: PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 82C25 CERTIFICATION LABEL INCORRECT 1982 C, K 10-10-30 SERIES CHEVROLET LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS ASSEMBLED AT OSHAWA TRUCK PLANT
General Motors has determined that certain 1982 C,K10-20-30 Series Light Duty Trucks do not conform to the federal certification labeling requirements. The trucks as ordered and delivered were assembled correctly; however, the certification label omits the required words: "This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect". The correct certification label is to be affixed to each affected vehicle.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1982 C, K 10-20-30 Light Duty Trucks within the following production breakdown points:
Plant Year Model From Thru ------ ---- ----------- -------- --------- Oshawa 1982 C,K10-20-30 C1189069 C1190681
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.
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 was not shipped any involved vehicles.

Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Chevrolet Motor Division (see copy of Owner Letter included with this bulletin).

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.
