Condition, Dealer Action, Vehicles Involved, Owner Notification & Dealer List Information

CONDITION

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in some 1984 and 1985 Eldorado convertible models.

Water or snow dripping onto the driver's side window switch assemblies may cause an electrical short which can potentially cause the switches to overheat. This overheating may result in a fire in the door panel area.

DEALER ACTION

To correct this condition, dealers are to replace the two window switches on the driver's door armrest with new design switches. In addition, on 1984 models only, dealers will replace driver's side window switch connectors with newer type connectors.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

All 1984 and 1985 Eldorado convertibles require this campaign (Cadillac records indicate that a total of 5,600 vehicles are affected).
OWNER NOTIFICATION

OWNERS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS CAMPAIGN WILL BE NOTIFIED BY LETTER FROM CADILLAC MOTOR CAR DIVISION. A COPY OF THE OWNER LETTER IS ATTACHED.
