Dear Buick Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on some 1985 Skylarks equipped with 2.8L Multi-Port Fuel
Injected V6 Engines. The throttle linkage retaining clip might interfere with the throttle body casting during normal rotation of the throttle lever. This
could prevent the throttle from closing even though the driver has removed his foot from the accelerator pedal. Loss of accelerator control could result in
a vehicle crash without prior warning.
To prevent this from occurring on your vehicle, please contact your Buick Dealer to arrange a service date. The dealer will add clearance between the
accelerator linkage and throttle body casting. This service will be completed for you at no charge.
Instructions have been sent to your Buick Dealer. The labor time to do the work will be about 20 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know
how much additional time will be necessary to process your vehicle.
Your Buick Dealer is best equipped to provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you take your vehicle to
your dealer on the agreed service date, and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five (5) days, we recommend you contact the
Customer Assistance Department, Flint home office, by calling:
800-521-7300, for all except residents of Alaska and Hawaii. In Alaska, call (503) 641-8350. In Hawaii, call (805) 497-8561.
After contacting your dealer and the Buick home office, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without charge
