Owner Letter
April, 1991
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 1990 Pontiac Trans Sport APV model vehicles with gray interiors fail to conform to the requirements of
Federal Motor. Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." Some of these vehicles were assembled with a right hand seat/shoulder
belt retractor installed in the second row left hand seat position (directly behind the driver). As a result, the incorrect belts may "lock up" when the
vehicles is parked on a steep grade, and an occupant would be unable to don the belt.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
To correct this condition, we are asking you to inspect your second row, left hand seat/shoulder belt (directly behind the driver) by following the
procedure on page three (3) of this letter (your dealer will perform the inspection if you wish). If this inspection indicates that your vehicle does not
require a seat/shoulder belt replacement, please check the red box on your postage paid reply card and return it to us. This will help to make us aware of
your vehicle's status in this recall.
If the inspection indicates that your seat/shoulder belt does need replacement, please contact your Pontiac dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service
date and so the dealer may order the necessary parts for the repair.
WHAT WE WILL DO
If you or your dealer discover that a seat/shoulder belt replacement is required, your dealer will replace the suspect safety belt assembly at no charge.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer and parts are available. The labor time necessary to perfom this service inspection/
correction is approximately 15 to 45 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and
process your vehicle.
