Typhoon V6-262 4.3L Turbo (1993)
General Motors has determined that CERTAIN 1993 S/T two-door utility vehicles have been shipped with an outboard rear seat belt assembly that will
not release the webbing from the retracted position. This condition will not meet the requirements of FMVSS 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
In order to comply with FMVSS 209. your dealer will check to determine if the seat belt assemblies are operative, and if inoperative, replace the seat belt
assembly(s). This service will be completed for you at no charge.
Since the inspection process to determine if the seat belts are inoperative is very easy, you may want to perform it yourself to determine if it is even
necessary to take your vehicle to the dealership. Simply pull out each of the outboard rear seat belts to see if they extend. If they both do, there is no need
for you to take your vehicle to the dealership. Please fill out the enclosed postage paid owner reply card indicating that your vehicle does not have this
condition and return it to us.
If either seat belt doesn't extend, then it will be necessary for you to take your vehicle to your dealer for repair. Instructions for performing this service
have been sent to your GMC dealer. Please contact your dealer to arrange a service date. The labor time necessary to perform this correction will vary
from 15 - 45 minutes. Please ask your dealer how much additional time will be needed to process your vehicle.
Your GMC dealer is best equipped to 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 service this condition on that date or within five days, we recommend you contact your nearest
GMC Truck Zone Office by telephone. The Zone Office will assist you and your dealer in getting your vehicle corrected. The telephone numbers of the
Zone Offices are listed in your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information 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
