Regal V6-231 3.8L Turbo VIN 8 4-bbl (1983)
Air Injection Hose/Tube: Recalls
Owner Letter Information
Dear Buick Owner:
This notice is sent to inform you that Buick Motor Division is initiating a recall campaign that includes your vehicle.
REASON FOR RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1983 Buick Regal and LeSabre models equipped with 3.8L engine and California emission equipment, may
be emitting pollutants in excess of California emission standards. This may be attributed to the AIR injection tube corroding with increased mileage and
exposure.
WHAT WE WILL DO
The AIR injection tube and AIR injection check valve will be inspected and, when necessary, replaced. In addition, the carburetor primary vacuum break
will be inspected. When required, the primary vacuum break, if found to be inoperative, will be replaced. This service will be performed for you at no
charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Contact your Buick dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for this service have been sent to your dealer. The labor time
necessary to inspect your vehicle is approximately fifteen (15) minutes. If parts are replaced, up to approximately forty (40) minutes minutes will be
required to service your vehicle. In either case, please allow some additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
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 owner reply card and returning it to us
so that we may update our records. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact the Buick Customer
Assistance Department, Flint Home Office by calling 800-521-7300.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of the environment and your continued satisfaction with
our products.
