Dear Buick Owner:
A durability feature on 1986 Buick Somerset & Skylark models is a chip resistant material applied to the lower portion of the car body, which is then
covered by the car's paint finish. We have found that on some of these cars, the adhesion between the two materials may be inadequate. On the affected
cars, this condition may result in flaking or chipping of the paint finish from the lower portions of the car's body.
Buick regrets this problem, and in the interest of customer satisfaction, has adopted the following Special Policy:
Buick will pay for refinishing all areas of the lower portion of the vehicle body in which the chip resistant material was applied if these areas exhibit
excessive chipping or flaking of the paint finish. This service will be performed by your Buick dealer at no charge to you.
This Special Policy covers both materials and labor for a period of three (3) years from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of
mileage.
We suggest you keep this letter and place it in your instrument panel compartment, along with the Owner's Manual, Maintenance Schedule, and
Warranty Booklet.
We regret any inconvenience that you may experience; however, we are taking this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our product.
