YATMING 1988 CHEVROLET LUMINA 1/64

ambassador84 OVER 30 MILLION VIEWS. :-) posted a photo:

I had assumed genuine bargains on Ebay were a thing of the past with so many sellers expecting top price for their items when clearly they aren't worth what they are asking! I was amazed at grabbing a mid 2000's Yatming 20 vehicle set for just 2.00 and all the contents were in mint unplayed with condition.
OK, the budget 800 Series aren't exactly the first choice for most collectors but they do have charm and very surprisingly my first experience of this range in my collection.
Despite its very basic cheapo appearance this is actually a licensed replica of a 1988 Chevrolet Lumina which at least makes it slightly interesting as again I don't think I have any model Luminas in my collection.
Paint work is metallic though you have to look very closely to see it and its interior runs to two front seats and...erm....thats it!
Mint and boxed.

DEFECT #1 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Posted on: 2001-02-07
Description
Vehicle description: passenger, sport utility vehicles and minivans.  The passenger air bag inflator modules were built without the correct amount of generant, which produces the gas that fills the air bag.  Some were built with a double load of generant and some were built without generant.

Consequence
In the event of a crash that would trigger a passenger air bag deployment, a double load of generant can cause the inflator module to explode.  If the air bag module explodes, metal and plastic debris could cause severe injury to vehicle occupant.  A module with no generant would not inflate the air bag, and the occupants could receive more severe injuries.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the passenger air bag module.  Telephone calls were made to owners on january 29, 2001.  Follow up owner mailing began on april 17, 2001.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or saturn at 1-800-553-6000.

Consequence

DEFECT #4 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Posted on: 2002-12-19
Description
On certain passenger, sport utility vehicles and mini vans, some of these vehicles have a passenger air bag that was manufactured without a check valve pin.  An air bag without the check valve pin could produce increased pressure at the onset of the air bag deployment and reduced pressure afterward.

Consequence
This could increase the severity of injury to a person who was not properly restrained and who was close to the passenger air bag at the time of deployment.  It could also reduce the ab8ility of the air bag to protect a restrained front seat passenger.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger air bag.  Owner notification began december 16, 2002.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537, or saturn at 1-800-553-6000, prompt #3.
