DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you
should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.
This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in this campaign may not comply with the standard identified above. Under Sections
108 and 114 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not
comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of these motor vehicles without first performing the
campaign correction your dealership may be subject to civil penalty up to $1,000 for each such sale.
Owners of vehicles recently sold, from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer, and arrangements made to make the required
modification according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
DEALER MATERIAL
If your dealership has vehicles involved in this campaign, you will receive the following items:
-
List of all vehicles involved in this campaign shipped to your dealership.
-
One (1) 86-C-5 Repair Kit for each vehicle on your listing.
-
One (1) campaign identification label for each vehicle.
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number computer listings. Computer listings contain the complete vehicle identification
number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data will enable
dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.
These computer listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor
vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the
follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of vehicles involved in this campaign will be notified by Buick Motor Division (see copy of owner letter included with this bulletin).
CHANGE OF OWNER INFORMATION
Dealers are to use the Dealer Communication System (D.C.S.) to provide Buick Motor Division with subsequent Buick owner information. By reporting
a change of owner name or address of a vehicle in campaign status over the D.C.S., the need to send in a C.V.A.R. form for that vehicle is eliminated.
Terminal input instructions are covered in the D.C.S. Manual under Section 9, Page 9-J01A and B.
PARTS INFORMATION
An 86-C-5 Repair Kit for this campaign will be furnished "No Charge" by Buick for each vehicle involved. An additional 86-C-5 kit can be obtained by
contacting your Buick Zone Office.
The parts required to repair one vehicle are contained in the 86-C-5 repair kit. These parts are shown in Figure 6 and listed below:
