CONDITION

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in all 1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon model vehicles. These vehicles exhibit a condition in which the shoulder belt guide loop plastic covering may crack and expose the steel sub-plate. In the event of a vehicle crash, the exposed steel sub-plate could cut the safety belt webbing and result in an increased possibility and/or severity of injury to the affected seat occupant.

To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to install new shoulder belt guide loops on involved vehicles.
