CAMPAIGN HANDLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.
Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1983 S/T Blazer Model Chevrolet Trucks equipped
with RPO AM7 folding rear bench seat. Under certain operating conditions where moderate brake stops are made, the inertia lock mechanism may not
function allowing the seat back to fold forward, and the seat to move forward. If the rear seat is occupied, this could cause personal injury by pinning the
occupant between the rear seat and the back of the front seats.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring on your vehicle, please contact your Chevrolet Dealer on or after the date shown below to arrange a
service date to have your vehicle corrected. Correction involves installation of a manually operated latch with a positive lock and release handle. The
necessary service will be performed at no charge to you.
As always, it is recommended that rear seat occupants use the seat belts. This will also minimize the possibility of the rear seat back folding forward until
the new latch is installed.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Chevrolet Dealer. It is estimated that parts will be available to your dealer on May 9, 1983.
The labor time necessary to perform this correction is approximately 20 minutes. Please allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
Your Chevrolet 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 they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five days, we recommend you
contact the nearest Chevrolet Zone Office, either in person or by telephone. The zone office will assist you and the dealer in getting your vehicle
corrected. The locations and telephone numbers of the zone offices are listed in your Owner's Manual.
After contacting your dealer and the zone office, if 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, D.C.
20590, or call 800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents use 426-0123).
The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist them in making the necessary correction to your
vehicle 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.
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.
