Dear Buick Owner:
This notice has been sent to inform you that Buick Motor Division is initiating a recall campaign that includes your vehicle.
REASON FOR RECALL
General Motors has determined some 1987 Buick Century models equipped with a 2.5L engine may experience loss of serpentine accessory drive belt
tension. This condition results in loss of accessory drive component operation (air conditioning, power steering, generator and water pump).
WHAT WE WILL DO
The serpentine belt tensioner will be inspected and, if required, replaced. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Contact your Buick dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for this service have been sent to your dealer. The labor time
necessary to inspect your vehicle is approximately ten (10) minutes. If tensioner replacement is necessary, approximately forty (40) minutes will be
required to service your vehicle. In either case, please allow some additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction in the
shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us
so that we may update our records. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact the Buick Customer
Assistance Department, Flint Home Office by calling 800-521-7300.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
