Grand Prix V6-191 3.1L (1989)
July, 1990
Dear Pontiac Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that certain 1989-90 Pontiac Grafid Prix Coupe model vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 210 "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." The upper guide loop attachment fastener for the front seat shoulder belts
could pull through the anchor plate at a load lower than that required by the Standard. In an accident, the shoulder belt would not correctly restrain the
occupant.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To correct this condition, dealers will replace all front shoulder belt guide loop attachment nuts. A new guide cover will also be installed at this time.
This service will be performed for you at do charge.
