Reatta V6-231 3.8L VIN C SFI (1990)
Brake Warning Indicator: Recalls
Owner 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 1990 Riviera and Reatta model vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105,
"Hydraulic Brake Systems" and 101, "Controls and Displays".
These vehicles have a brake system indicator light which does not light when the ignition is in the "on" position, the parking brake applied, and the shift
selector in the (P) park or (N) neutral gear range. The light functions properly in all other shift selector gear ranges.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To correct this condition, your Buick dealer will replace the PROM in the Body Computer Module.
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 replacement is 25 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.
