November 1987
Dear Oldsmobile 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 1987 Cutlass Supreme, Cutlass Salon, and Custom
Cruiser models equipped with 200-4R (MW9) transmission. These vehicles may have a manual valve link in the transmission which was improperly
formed. This condition could lead to the link separating, resulting in a gear selection different from what the driver selects with the shift lever and what
appears on the shift indicator. Also, the car could be started when the transmission is in gear. Thus when selecting a gear or starting the vehicle, it is
possible for the vehicle to unexpectedly move in an unanticipated direction. Such unexpected movement could result in an accident without prior
warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring on your vehicle, your Oldsmobile dealer will replace the manual valve detent lever link. This service will be
completed at no charge to you.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Contact your Oldsmobile Dealer to arrange a service date. Instructions have been sent to your Dealer. The labor time to perform the correction is about
45 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be necessary to process your vehicle.
