Owner & Dealer Letters Information
April 1988
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 may exist in some 1988 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan models. A clip on
the shifter mechanism inside the console may become dislodged preventing indication of the correct gear under conditions of darkness. Also, there is a
possibility this clip could bind part of the shifter mechanism in a way which would prevent the gear detents from operating; hence an inadvertent bump of
the shifter could place the shifter in an undesired gear position. Either of these conditions could cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring in your vehicle, the clip will be replaced 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. It is estimated that parts will be available to your
dealer April 15, 1988. The labor time to replace the clip is about fifteen (15) minutes. Please allow additional time for your dealer to process your
vehicle.
Your Oldsmobile Dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to promptly correct your vehicle. However, if you take your vehicle to your
dealer on the agreed service date, and they do not remedy this condition then or within five days, we suggest you contact the nearest Oldsmobile 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 the Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet.
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 and
within a reasonable time, you may write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh St., S.W., Washington, D.C.
20590 or call 800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents call 366-0123).
Please give the enclosed owner reply card to your dealer so they can quickly identify your vehicle and the condition which needs correcting. If you no
longer have this vehicle, please let us know by completing the card and mailing it back to us. The postage has been paid for you.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action for your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
