Part will be credited at dealer net, plus 30% dealer handling allowance.
Dear Oldsmobile Owner:
General Motors has determined that some 1982-83 Firenza models equipped with 1.8 liter Electronic Fuel Injection/Overhead Cam 4-cylinder engines
may have been produced with a cogged timing belt that was inadequately tensioned at time of assembly.
Low tension can allow the timing belt to contact the front cover with resultant noise and/or failure of the internal belt cogs. If several cogs in a row are
lost, the engine may not start or run.
To correct this condition, dealers are to replace the timing belt and tension the new belt to a higher specification. This service will be performed at no
charge.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Oldsmobile Dealer. Please contact your dealer to arrange a service date. The labor time
necessary to perform this replacement is approximately one and one-half hours. Please allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
The enclosed Owner Reply Card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the correction 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 continued satisfaction with our products.
