ATTACHMT: ATTACHED TO LETTER DATED 07/15/86 TO JAMES J DABROWSKI FROM ERIKA Z. JONES, REDBOOK A29 (4); LETTER DATED 06/12/86, TO ERIKA Z. JONES FROM J. DABROWSKI, OCC - 0838

TEXT: This is to advise you that your (year, model, VIN or vehicle identification - whatever information is available) is included in a range of vehicles which the manufacturer has determined contain a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. Specifically, there exists a potential for fuel leakage in the vehicle's engine compartment which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in an engine compartment fire or the destruction of the vehicle's ignition distributor cap. This could, in turn, result in personal injury. This condition can be rectified by the installation of a new fuel rail assembly and a modified ignition system.

Since you vehicle was not manufactured to meet United States safety and emission control standards, it may be necessary to make special arrangements in order to have this recall repair performed on your vehicle.

Please contact the Zone Service Department (listed below) closest to you for further information.

Very truly yours,

R E L E A S E
