SUBJECT:
SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT (SIR) SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC ENERGY RESERVE MODULE (DERM) EXCHANGE
MODELS AFFECTED:
1990 RIVIERA/REATTA
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint DERMS used in 1990 Riviera/Reattas are to be serviced by exchange with one of the AC Delco Service Centers listed
at the end of this bulletin. The Centers are authorized to pre-exchange by sending an exchange unit to the dealership in advance of receiving a problem
unit for repair.
LOCATING EXCHANGE PARTS
If your local AC Delco repair facility does not have a unit available for pre-exchange, call other shops listed in the bulletin. As independent businesses,
the shops may not refer a dealership to another shop for service when an exchange unit is not available. It is the dealership's responsibility to find a
needed exchange unit by calling first the local shop, then others on the list.
All shops are authorized to ship to ary Buick dealer.
AC DELCO EXCHANGE PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the DERM unit requiring repair from the vehicle; complete all red shaded areas of the AC Delco Warranty Repair Claim (ACD-1078A).
Send the unit and all five copies of the completed form to the authorized AC Delco Repair Center. ALL INFORMATION EXCEPT FOR THE
DEALER'S SIGNATURE MUST BE PRINTED LEGIBLY OR TYPED.
IMPORTANT:
Nature of Problem, Field # 3, is particularly important. To assure accurate diagnosis and repair of the returned unit, also attach a Repair Order copy.
2.
The repaired unit will be returned to the dealership with the dealership copy of the AC Delco form, properly completed. In cases where the
dealership has received a pre-exchange unit, the completed form will be mailed after return of the inoperative unit to the repair center.
3.
A warranty claim is to be submitted for the R&R of the unit. An additional .2 hour administrative allowance will be paid if applied for when
components are repaired under warranty by an AC Delco Service Center. This additional time should be entered in the "other labor hours" column
of the Buick warranty claim.
4.
The dealer copy of the ACD-1078A and the freight receipt or shipping invoice are to be retained in accordance with requirements detailed in the
current Buick Service Policies and Procedures Manual.
TIMELY RETURN OF UNITS FOR REPAIR
Return of units for repair in cases of pre-exchange is critical to the success of the exchange programs. When dealerships do not immediately return cores,
it results in local parts shortages. If dealerships are delinquent on core returns, AC Delco will contact Buick for action by Warranty Administration.
