Seat Belts - Inconvenience Reaching Front Inner Buckle
Bulletin: 92-10-70B
Date: July '93
Ref.No.: 92-351-10
Corp.Ref.No.: 231074R
SUBJECT:
INCONVENIENCE IN REACHING THE FRONT INNER SEAT BELT BUCKLE (INSTALL NEW BUCKLE ASSEMBLY)
MODELS AFFECTED:
1992 SKYLARK
This bulletin is being revised to specify the "driver's side only" is affected on the sedan model. However, design change does apply to both driver and
passenger sides on the coupe. Please discard Bulletin 92-10-70A.
CONDITION:
Some owners of 1992 Skylarks have commented on the inconvenience of reaching the front inner seat belt buckle.
CAUSE:
A design change made to the seat belt buckle anchor plate resulted in a net reduction of the buckle assembly length. This design change affected the
driver's side buckle on both the sedan and coupe models, but on sedan models it affected the driver's side ONLY. The passenger buckle design on the
sedan remained unchanged.
CORRECTION:
On coupe models built prior to the VIN breakpoints, replace both front inner seat belt buckle assemblies with new buckle assemblies. On sedan models
built prior to the VIN breakpoints below, replace ONLY the driver's side front inner seat belt buckle assembly, the passenger side should not be changed.
The new buckle assembly has been lengthened from 217 mm (8.5 in.) to 235 mm (9.25 in.). This design change was made in the factory according to
color and seat position.
Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
Follow the service procedure outlined in Section 10-11 of the appropriate service manual.
