Issued: 02-01-96
SUBJECT:
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN - REDUNDANT RADIO CONTROL (STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROL) CIRCUIT NOT
ADEQUATELY PROTECTED
MODELS AFFECTED:
1996 SKYLARK MODELS EQUIPPED WITH REDUNDANT RADIO CONTROL (RPO UK3)
General Motors has determined that certain 1996 Buick Skylark model vehicles were built with inadequate protection for the Redundant Radio Control
circuit. If a certain wire in the steering column is damaged, the radio controls on the steering wheel may not work because of a short circuit. This could
result in damage to the control circuit and possibly inadvertent deployment of the driver's side Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (air bag).
To correct this condition, dealers will install a fused jumper harness in the Redundant Radio Control circuit, and replace certain electrical components
that may have been exposed to excessive electrical current loads.
