CONDITION

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1987 Electra and Park Avenue model vehicles. Some of these vehicles may have excessive accelerator cable friction restricting the cable's free movement between the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. This friction could be sufficient to prevent the throttle from returning to the closed (idle) position when the accelerator pedal is released. In this event, engine speed may not decrease to a level anticipated by the operator. Loss of accelerator control could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.

DEALER ACTION

To prevent this condition, dealers are to inspect and, if required, replace the accelerator control cable on suspected vehicles, per the Vehicles Involved and Technical Procedure sections of this bulletin.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Involved are certain 1987 Electra/Park Avenue model vehicles produced within the following VIN breakpoints:

Model Year Plant Beginning Through & Including

1987 Wentzville H1475084 H1485792

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used car inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number computer listings.
