Regal V6-191 3.1L (1991)
Seat Belt: All Technical Service Bulletins
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 THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1991 Buick Regal (Sedan/Coupe) model vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208, "Occupant Crash Protection". Some of these vehicles have been built with cracked front door shoulder belt guide loops which may not
provide front seat occupants with proper protection in the event of a vehicle crash.
WHAT WE WILL Do
To correct this condition, your Buick dealer will inspect the front door shoulder belt guide loops on your vehicle for possible cracks. If a cracked guide
loop is found, both front door shoulder belt guide loops will have reinforcing plates installed. 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 and so the dealer may order the necessary parts for the repair. Instructions
for making this correction have been sent to your dealer and parts are available. The labor time necessary to perform this service inspection/correction is
approximately thirty (30) 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 ensure 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 inspection/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.
