I won an auction on Ebay and recieved the owners manuel for an 85 and tucked inside was this plate and booklet... thought Id pass this on to everyone. I only scanned in two pages of eight, but WOW, I never got to read this. The first paragraph is shocking . I will be keeping this a memorbilia, can you imagine getting into a Fiero and seeing this plate ??? Id get back out! John

I've always wanted to read that, but still haven't found one. Do you think you could scan the rest of it? So is this one is different from the ones 84 owners got?

page 7:

The last page is basically saying the same thing..
The cover on this manual "Important Maintenance Information
1985, 1986, and 1987 Pontiac Fiero"

What a suprise for me to find this...
After I recieved this I checked my 88 and found out no recall was ever done.
Hope everyone enjoys this. John

I have one of those engine fire warning plates. I found it in the glove box of an '86 SE that was destroyed by an engine fire. No joke.

Fiero67,

Thanks also.

Then people wonder why Fiero's had such a bad wrap in the public eye. And why they are still referred to as "Fire Traps". Gotta wonder who was doing PR as Pontiac in those days. One would think it was better to fix the car versus placing a plaque that says.. "This car is prone to fires unelss you regularly service it"..GREAT way to keep folks buying GM cars.

Thanks again, that's pretty cool!

I like how GM blames poor maintenance and not a lawsuit opening design flaw.

If it is hot enough, the escaping engine oil can catch fire, causing an engine fire."

Man, there's a sales pitch to get a return customer....

Just what I want people seeing when they get in my car, a big silver sign that reads :Warning you may die today...
no wonder why I've never seen one of those plaques in a Fiero

It's kind of a "Fiero Ownership for Dummies and Complete Idiots", huh? 'Check Your Oil' - 'Watch Your Gauges'. Now I need a bumper sticker: 'In case of stupidity this car will explode'.

Now just watch: I'll have something like this happen to me...

Still amazes me that the PR department thought this was a good idea. "Thanks for buying a Fiero, here's how to avoid the standard equipment car-b-que feature." Gee, anybody have any ideas why people think Fieros are fiery death traps? Way to go Pontiac

I got one of these for an 88 from a gm mechanic back home that had some Fieros. He had a stack in his toolbox. The way he explained it to me, is that when cars came in to get the recall work done this was supposed to be installed on the cars and the literature given to the customer.

Wonder if GM still has them. it would be an interesting thing to have. Along with an original sales advertisement for the car. I wonder how they were advertised when new.

I have at least two of those. Back in the day, when they sent you the mail about the recall campaigns for the manifold deflectors, they included this stuff.
