Owner Letter

Dear Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera or Cutlass Cruiser Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

REASON FOR RECALL:

General Motors has decided that certain 1989 - 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Cutlass Cruiser models fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 210, Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage. These vehicles were assembled with rear outboard seat belt anchorage's that may not withstand the required load. During loading, stress could cause the attachment metal to tear and allow the anchorage to separate from the body.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To prevent this condition from occurring and in order to comply with FMVSS 210, your retailer will replace the existing anchor bolt with a new shoulder bolt and thread locking adhesive. Additionally, noise control patches will be applied at each anchorage. This service will be performed for you at no charge.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.

Please contact your Oldsmobile retailer immediately to arrange a service date. Instructions have been sent to your retailer. It is estimate that parts will be available to your retailer October 17, 1995. Please ask your retailer if you wish an estimate of the total time needed to schedule, process and return your vehicle. Included in this time would be about twenty (20) minutes for a technician to perform the work required.
