Regal V6-231 3.8L VIN L SFI (1990)
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 1988-1990 Buick Regal Coupe model vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard (FMVSS) 210 "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages". The upper guide loop attachment fastener for the front seat shoulder belts could pull
through the anchor plate at a load lower than that required by the Standard. In an accident, the shoulder belt would not correctly restrain the occupant.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To correct this condition, dealers will replace all front shoulder belt guide loop attachment nuts. A new guide cover will also be installed at this time.
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 available. The labor time necessary to perform this service correction is approximately forty (40) minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to
know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
Until you return your vehicle to the dealer for repair, you should continue to use your seat and shoulder belts.
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, Flint Home Office, 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.
