Radio/Stereo: Recalls
Owner Letter
Dear Buick Customer:
We, at Buick Motor Division, are committed to improving the Buick customer ownership experience. We have discovered a condition that could develop
on your vehicle and are writing to you today with our action.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL FOR:
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).
ACTION:
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.
This service will be performed for you at no charge.
