Owner Letter

Dear Chevrolet Customer:

General Motors of Canada Limited has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 Chevrolet/Geo Metro and Pontiac Firefly 3-Door Non-ABS vehicles. Certain of these vehicles may have been built with incorrectly machined rear brake drums. As the vehicle is driven, loss of wheel clamp load could result from this condition. Once clamp load is lost, all tire loads are taken by the wheel studs, this loading could result in fatigue failure of the wheel studs. If this occurs, a wheel could separate from the vehicle, and a crash could occur without prior warning.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, your dealer will replace both rear brake drums on all involved vehicles.

This service will be provided for you at no charge.

Please contact your GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date.

If parts are required, ask your dealer for details regarding their availability. If parts are not in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date.

This letter identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this letter to your dealer will assist their Service personnel in completing the necessary correction to your vehicle in the shortest possible time.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
