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 RECALL
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle
safety exists in some 1989 Riviera model vehicles equipped with Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS). Involved vehicles may have one or both ABS hydraulic unit
mounting bolts not properly seated. This condition could cause increased brake
pedal travel and/or poor pedal feel if the attachment loosens.
In addition,
with time, this condition could lead to separation of the brake hydraulic unit
from its mounting bracket. Separation would result in loss of brake function
and could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring, it will be necessary to replace both ABS hydraulic unit mounting bolts on your vehicle. This service will be
performed at no charge to you.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Buick dealer to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Buick dealer. It is estimated that
parts will be available approximately April 21, 1989. The labor time necessary to perform this service is approximately twenty (20) minutes. Please ask
your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be necessary to process your vehicle.
Your Buick dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you take
your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and he does not remedy this condition on that date or within five (5) days, we recommend that you
contact the Buick Customer Assistance Center, Flint Home Office by calling 1-800-521-7300. The Customer Assistance Center will Assist you and the
dealer in getting your vehicle serviced.
If, after contacting your dealer and the Buick Customer Assistance Center, you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition,
without charge within a reasonable time, you may wish to write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street,
S.W., Washington, DC 20590; or call 1-800-424-9393 (Washington, DC residents use 366-0123).
