Regal V6-191 3.1L VIN M SFI (1995)
Brake Hose/Line: Recalls
Owner Letter
Dear Buick Regal Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
SAFETY RECALL FOR:
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1994-95 Buick Regal model vehicles. The rear wheel
brake hose(s) on some of these vehicles may be contacting rear suspension components. This condition can cause the brake hose(s) to wear through,
resulting in loss of brake fluid and eventual loss of the vehicle braking system. If this condition were to occur in a situation where stopping distances
were minimal, a vehicle crash could occur, without prior warning.
ACTION
To prevent the possibility of this occurring, dealers are to inspect for proper rear brake hose position. Those brake hoses found in the incorrect position
will be replaced with new hoses and correctly routed. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
HOW LONG WILL REPAIR TAKE?
The labor time necessary to perform this service correction is approximately 15 minutes to one hour, and parts are available. Please ask your dealer if
you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
