OWNER LETTER February 1984
Dear Buick Owner:
General Motors has determined that some 1982-1983 Skyhawks equipped with 1.8 liter Electronic Fuel Injection/Overhead Cam 4-cylinder engine may have been produced with a cogged timing belt that was inadequately tensioned at time of assembly.
Low tension can allow the timing belt to contact the front cover with resultant noise and/or failure of the internal belt cogs. If several cogs in a row are lost, the engine may not start or run.
To correct this condition, dealers' are to replace the timing belt and tension the new belt to a higher specification. This service will be performed at no charge to you.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Buick dealer. Please contact your dealer to arrange a service date. The labor time necessary to perform this replacement is approximately one-and-one-half hours. Please allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.
The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary correction to your vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage-paid owner reply card and returning it to us.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
