LeSabre V6-231 3.8L VIN L SFI (1992)
Parking Brake Lever: All Technical Service Bulletins
Owner Notification Letter
Dear Buick Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1991 Park Avenue/Ultra and 1992 LeSabre model vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 105, "Hydraulic Brake Systems", which in part, covers parking brake performance.
Some of these vehicles have parking brake lever assemblies which when applied can release one or more teeth. If release occurs, the cable load applying
the rear brakes will be reduced and depending upon the extent of lever release, the parking brake may not hold the vehicle as required.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring, your Buick dealer will inspect and if required, replace the parking brake lever assembly. This service will be
performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Buick dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer and
parts are currently available. The labor time necessary to perform the inspection is approximately 15 minutes, if replacement is required allow (1) hour
and approximately (40) minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your
vehicle.
Your Buick dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to insure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. If, however, you
take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five (5) days, we recommend you
contact the Buick Customer Assistance Center by calling 1-800-521-7300.
After contacting your dealer and the Customer Assistance Center, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without
charge and within a reasonable time, you may wish to write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street,
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call 1-800-424-9393 (Washington D. C. residents use 366-0123).
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 reply card and returning it to us.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your safety and continued satisfaction with our
products.
