Brake Hydraulic Unit: All Technical Service Bulletins
Dealer Letter Information
Dear Buick Dealer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Act.
REASON FOR RECALL
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist on some 1987 and 1988 LeSabre model vehicles equipped
with Anti-lock Brake System. Involved vehicles may have been assembled with low torque of the brake hydraulic unit mounting bolts. This condition
could cause increased brake pedal travel and/or poor pedal feel if the attachment loosens. In addition, with time this condition could lead to separation of
the brake hydraulic unit from its mounting bracket. Separation would result in loss of brake function and could result in a vehicle crash without prior
warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring, it will be necessary to replace the hydraulic unit mounting bolts on all involved vehicles. This service will be
performed at no charge to you.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Buick dealer to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Buick dealer. It is estimated that
parts will be available approximately May 13, 1988. The labor time necessary to perform this service is approximately fifteen (15) minutes. Please ask
your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be necessary to process your vehicle.
Your Buick dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you take
